More power to the [H]

Hmm... I had a co-worker's Dual Xeon 2.4 (400MHz bus) crunching away for awhile... I had to change the graph in task manager to show 4 CPUs.. the "one graph per CPU" option under View... I remember having 4 of those little graphs... but that was a year ago, so I don't have any pics,etc...


Keep on Folding!!

 
Ok here is the steps to get the cpu's to show up correctly in the task manager.

Right click and go to the task manager, go to the performance tab, choose at the top view, then cpu history, and to one graph per cpu.

For you ht xeons to show up correctly, you might need to consider 2003 server, it supports four and above processors. Xp pro can only support two processors, either being physically there or virtual processors.
 
ummm i think you guys might be incorrect.
I already tried the Task manager trick, it just toggles between 1 and 2 cpus's.

XP Pro supports 2 *Physical* processors, but shows the HT enableds as logical processors.
ive seen the screenshots, and and verified this through multiple sources.

Have you checked how many CPU's are being reported through something like CPU-z? If they show up as 4 separate threaded proc's in there, maybe your performance monitors got hosed somehow. Just throwing out some random ideas....

Thats a good idea. Ill check it.
 
I had this same problem. Did you change the windows install type when you originally installed. You need to hit one of the 'F' keys on install right away and scroll down and, I believe, select ACPI yada yada. Sorry I'm at work so I don't have all my links. I had this question when I got my LVs in November. I'll pull up more information for you later tonight, or maybe some other multi processing people can give you the answer.

-lots of points
 
Agreed, when you load XP professional you have to tell it to support multi-processor (as I remember).
 
Dont tell me you have been working Hito.

havent seen you around much lately.. whats up with that
 
Combination of work, moving and just being in a bit of a slump.

Moving is a bit more complicated when it involves 2 kids, a wife and 1,500 SQFT of junk.

 
Ehh know how that goes.
GL in getting everything together.
(im finally on a small up swing)
LMK if you need help with the badge stuff too
 
Guys, its supporting the two physical processors, just not showing the additional logical HT ones.

MN Scout, if you could post some more info later, I would greatly appreciate it.

this is what I see:

this is what I should see:

NOTE
i ripped those pics off of google, so ignore the memory sizes and all that crap
but ive seen 4 cpus' showing up in XP Pro with Xeons and HT enabled. I know it can work.
 
Even though I'd hate a have a system like that and only have 512MB in it.

where and how much did those Xeons cost?

i got em off of ebay.
2 1.6Ghz Low Voltage Xeons, running @ 3.0Ghz.
I got em for $120 w/shipping. They are getting more rare though and may be higher now.

I got an extra pair too :)
depending on how easily I can get this setup working right, I may get another mobo, or sell the extra cpu's
