P4 3.2 upgrade for tired 478 mobo

Ah cheers mate, this one is bugging me... i have had a surf about and there is little on the webthat makes sense to me right now, thanks for the support.

i do have HT enabled in the bios.

i do have very latest bios for the system i have

i is stuck!
 
One of the only ways round this I've seen on the net, is to do an upgrade install over the top of your current install. When you boot from the windows cd and it gives you the option to press F6 to install a raid driver press F5 instead. This will give you the option to choose which type of system you want. You need to choose ACPI Multiprocessor PC. This will install windows using the correct HAL, when its finished HT should be working fully.
 
I was coming to that conclusion myself....

my XP Pro installation is an upgrade install over Windows ME, (and before that 98) which probably does not help my current situation.

Thanks for the time and effort....
 
There may be another way, but it will involve copying some files from the windows disc to the hard drive and renaming them to force windows to install the ACPI Multiprocessor PC driver.
 
Yeh, i found this route, did appropriate mods to beet.ini file, and it screwed my PC... had to repair install, even then i did not open up multiprocessor options as i thought a repair intsall would, so i'm confused..

Since i don't think enabling HT will improve game play performance i'm gonna leave it as a single CPU for now,

But thanks for the help...
 
I've got a similar situation here.

In device manager i can see two CPUs
my computer is listed as an ACPI multiprocessor PC
but in the performance tab of task manager i only see a graph for 1 CPU.

I'm running XP SP2 on a abit p4c800 deluxe socket 478 board on a 2.8 Northwood running at 3.3 (14 x 236). HT is enabled in the bios.

Click to expand...

In task manager go to View > CPU History, and make sure One Graph Per CPU is selected.
