Forgive me but I currently know sod all about Intel cpus having used nothing but AMD since the old pentium 2 days. I use a pc at work for finite element analysis, according to the system details it uses a 3.06gig pentium 4 cpu. Is there a simple way to tell if this cpu is at all multiprocessor capable, which I believe is what hyperthreading means* Its running windows 2000 btw.

*see comment about knowning sod all about intel cpus if this statement is bs.
 
Yes according to task manager there are two cpu performance windows. I set Abaqus to use two cpus and it didn't balk at it, apart from using up 2 liscences instead of 1. Will have to do a benchmark to see what real difference it makes. Cheers.

So in XP do you get the option to assign processes to different logical cpus, cos there doesn't seem to be any options for that in win2k task manager. And you wouldn't believe the hoops you have to jump through here to get anything upgraded, eg win2k to winxp.
