Ghostrider Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 How do i get my P4 3.0c Hyper threading cpu to show as 2 cpu's in XP pro SP2?Enable Hyperthreading in the bios and WinXp will detect 2 cpu's by default
cluberti Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 You'll also need to install the proper HAL via computer in the device manager.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q237556/

I always assume windows is installed correctly so the ACPI HAL is installed, sometimes forget people don't setup a bios correctly and end up with Standard HAL..
nmX.Memnoch Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 He could still have an ACPI HAL...just the "APCI Uniprocessor PC" HAL..
N1K Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Best practise is that you enable HT in BIOS before installation of Windows..

jftuga Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 IIRC, you can delete the processor or "APCI Uniprocessor PC" in device manager. Upon the next reboot, XP will install the dual processor driver.You should google around for the exact steps.-John
Innocent Devil Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 @jftuga it is not APCI but ACPI Check BIOS whether it supports HT ??
nmX.Memnoch Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Check BIOS whether it supports HT ??If it supports a P4 3.0C then it supports Hyperthreading.
ranjit jacob Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 ya enable HT in Bios , that should do the job for you !!
