first off, i just reinstalld windows and I only seem to have one CPU installed instead of two (i have 3.0E) as far as windows is concerned. i changed it to a "multiprocessor system" but that does nothing. before i reinstalled i used to have a driver for the Pentium 4 and it would see two installed devices both called Intel Pentium 4 HT processors under the processor menu (under system devices).

wtf is going on??

also, I can install the latest chipset drivers, however not the Intel Applicationd Accelerator drivers because I supposedly dont have the supported hardware.

again, wtf is going on??


the only wierd thing i did, was install windows 2000 first, then upgrade that to WindowsXP Pro SP2.
 
I think the intel AA is only if you have the Intel RAID built into the south bridge, if you have the 875p chipset then its built in.

Something you can try regarding your HT.

WindowsButton+Pause/Break

Go to Advanced
Then Environment Variables
Within the environ. variables windows, there is two sceens, the botton one (System variables), click New.
Variable Name: Devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices
Variable Value: 1

Also while you're looking in the system variable box, see if it says "Number of Processors - 2".

Once you've added the devmgr command, go to Device manager, view>show non present devices. Go to processors, see if you have any ghost cpu's loaded(They will be grey colored).
 
did everything. nothing has changed (havent restarted though). i also changed the number of processoring from 1, to 2. again, nothing changed.
 
When I first got my HT cpu, It wouldn't detect 2 cpu's either. What I did was, go into BIOS, set hyperthreading off, boot up, go to device manager, make it show hidden devices, go to Processors, delete every one in the list, reboot, set HT to on, boot up, it detects the two Proc's, asks you to reboot. That worked for me.

Click to expand...

still nothing.

i think the only way is to do a full, orginal installation.
 
There's another way, but I don't know how to do it.
Without doing a repair install, you need to edit the registry, and copy over the windows driver files for the "multiprocessor PC environment". I don't know which files they are....you're on your own about this. Do some googling and searching.....
