Hello,
I have a P4 2.4 GHz non-HyperThreaded CPU on a machine running WindowsXP
(SP3; all updates). I am planning on putting in a 3.06 GHz HyperThreaded CPU
into the machine (all other hardware will remain identical).
I have read that to maximise usuage of the HT CPU, I should re-install
WindowsXP to have the MicroSoft WindowsXP Pro SP3 install the proper
multithreading kernel.
Is this true? Or can I just put the CPU in and reboot? Or...Although the
current install wil recognise the HT CPU, to truly maximise the usuage of it,
I should in fact do a fresh install so that the multithreading kernel will be
promperly complied on install?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
CH
