I do chaos, I do lot6ssxss of resaasearch, so I know whats works and what doesn'yTTT!@!


5520 and abvove have hyperthrwqading which ouwuld result in 16thrwads, bt anything beklow, such as 5504 will have no HT so only 8n threaDSA, sorry John
!!!!!


However it will still vbe faster thwan i7 theNS WITH HUYPER THRQAEAding!!! so br glad or upGRAde!

Reading through your manual, just double checking that these are options youre talking about:

Simultaneous Multi-Threading (Available when supported by the CPU)
Set to Enabled to use the Simultaneous Multi-Threading Technology, which will
result in increased CPU performance. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

Active Processor Cores
Set to Enabled to use a processor's Second Core and beyond. (Please refer to
Intel's web site for more information.) The options are All, 1 and 2.

To enabled and all respectively?

on a side note: Woohoo! Another join the multi-socket arena. Now try and break some records with us

After reading the whole thread 3 times (thanks Chilly)... I woke up this morning with the same question: is HT part of the chip design. Looks like I bought the wrong chips.

Can't compete with you guys, Wprime 32M is 8.67 secs, 1024 is 258.346 secs.

Back to the drawing board. Thanks all for you replies.

Your welcome... Sorry.

Yes, thats correct, they do not have Hyper-Threading, only the 5520 and up do, which is what I was attempting to say last night.

Well I might end up selling my system soon enough as nothings forth coming on the job front. So, you might be able to get some cheap CPU's from me.

I mean I have a few possibilities lined up but haven't heard anything, good or bad, from then in a while. Despite that fact, a few of them would only net me a job in the fall time, so I'm screwed in multiple ways. I don't think I can afford to keep it for much longer.

OH Yeah!

PS Charlie: I think I was correct about the OS being limited to 2 physical CPUs/ 8 cores. Even if you did have Nehalems with HT in Vista64 they wouldnt have shown up anyways - same thing in Windows 7 Ultimate btw (I tested this).

[3.0charlie]

Chilly, which chips do you have?

CM, per Microsoft:

While all editions of Windows Vista can support multiple core CPUs, only Windows Vista Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise can support dual processors.

Windows Vista Ultimate: System Requirements

You sure? The limitation is only 2 physical cpus, no limitation on threads/cores on Vista Business and Vista Ultimate, Vista 64 Ultimate and Windows 7 64 Ultimate works just fine with all 16 threads on Chaos just fine.

I'm a buyer, if you are a seller.

that really sucks 3.0 sorry to hear you bought the wrong chips. ( and there you go )
