Hello,
Anybody know how to enable hyperthreading? I
have an ABIT IC7-G motherboard (absolute garbage)
with a Phoenix AwardBIOS. They don't provide
any BIOS upgrades and say you have to contact
the board vendor. ABIT doesn't answer email
and www.abit.com ends up being answered by
www.motherboards.com that doesn't provide
any support.
The crap board came with the peripherals
I paid for, stripped out (no network, etc).
Don't make the mistake of buying this garbage
as I did. I thought that since it was more
expensive than others, it __must__ be the
best!!!
Cheers,
Dick Johnson

Thanks to you all for the site info. The two US sites refused connections, but Tiwan worked. I downloaded the latest, compiled May, 19, 2003. BIOS release 1.3. This converted the motherboard into a DOS-only machine. It would not boot Linux much beyond the LILO prompt but it would boot DOS off from a floppy fine. There was nothing in the BIOS setup to enable or disable hyper-threading. There was some junk about enabling 'ultra', 'turbo' and 'fast'. If 'turbo' was enabled, I was able to boot Linux-2.4.20. This is the dmesg output. It will not boot in any other 'position'.

It's a pentium 4 Xeon. If it doesn't support it, ether the CPU or the motherboard are broken. I'll bet on the motherboard. Look further up the dmesg output and you'll see XEON(tm) and 2 CPUs total.

Indeed, I saw that. On the P4 2.66ghz that you have, the "second" cpu is disabled by intel, as they sell hyperthreading only on the newer Xeon P4 (which you don't have), and the new 800FSB (4x200) units, which again you don't have. .....

There is a Xeon 2.66 part, however it has 603 pins, and would not fit on your IC7-G board, which is a P4 board, not a P4 Xeon board, CPU0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz stepping 07 is correct. OT: Are your two 100mbit cards PCI or something? I noticed the onboard gigabit adapter isn't detected. Mike ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

For example, my system has an Intel MB and a Pentium 4 2.8GHz processor; it boots using HT just fine.

That's what it even says on the box (new Hyper-thread technology)! I guess Hyper-thread technology isn't "hyper-thread", only its "technology", like it's got some pins and takes power. > .....

I got sold a board that doesn't have the gigibit adapter populated plus, you can't tell from a distance because the connector is present, but has some metal tape covering the hole. This board costs $275 plus the CPU was $635. I got badly raped and the vendor won't take them back. Cheers, Dick Johnson Penguin : Linux version 2.4.20 on an i686 machine (797.90 BogoMips).

If, in deed, your ordered this thing under a set of specifications that it isn't meeting (e.g. the gigabit isn't there but it is on the listing from the advertisement etc. the seller is all sorts of liable. (I am presuming wrong doing, if you just didn't shop around but you did get what you ordered, this doesn't apply to you 8-) Particularly if you used a credit card. The things to do (and these really do work.) 1) (no matter what kind of payment was used) go to http://www.ftc.gov and file a complaint. This is something between advertising and wire fraud and there are armies of petty bureaucrats at the FTC who live to vent spleen on that sort of thing. Example: Bank of America "held" a _certified_ check my roommate deposited into his account, even after the funds cleared the issuing account. He had proof. There is a %1000 fine for that (yes, three zeros!) and BofA paid just over 60,000.00(USD) in fines for "being slick" with his account. The more proof you have (print out of the advertisement or web page etc) the more likely you are to get satisfaction; mention what proof you have etc in the complaint. 2) If you used a credit card (again on a US bank or institution) complain to your bank and/or the lead company (e.g. Visa Corp for a purchase made with any thing imprinted with a "Visa" logo). The person or entity who listed the charge against your account has an agreement with the issuing bank or the main company that, among other things, makes them liable to provide the goods or services paid for, or to make good on the mistake, or to abrogate the sale. They have also agreed not to be fraudulent about their actions since Visa Corp (et al) cant make you pay for charges that are inappropriate. Even "all sales are final" notices accompanying a sale do not supercede this agreement if what was delivered didn't match what was purchased. A business can lose it's entire ability to process a card (e.g. Visa will pull their contract, and that can end a business) for something as small as one failure to perform. It's amazing how quickly a business will bend over and get all helpful if they get caught out and you actually make the call. It all boils down to proof. Did you print that "receipt" page? Do you have the invoice? Did you (can you) print the Advertisement? Does it say it will on the box? All these things are useful as proof. At the very least, if they didn't deliver, you may not have to pay. And remember, a merchant can disclaim fitness for a particular purpose ("you balancing your checkbook" for example) but they can not "disclaim" anything in the sales agreement, and claims on the page and on the box are therefore binding no matter what they say. Call the merchant one more time. Get the name of the guy you are talking to. Say "This product doesn't do what the box says it will. Replace this with something that does, or give me my money back, or my next calls will be fraud complaints to my bank, Visa corp., and the F.T.C." Ask for his supervisor, get his name, repeat your statement. If/when they say no, thank them for their time politely. Then assert your right not to be screwed...

All Asus bords with chipset supporting HT have BIOS updates to enable support. Also, if you look at older A7N8X (Nforce2 chipset) boards, they now have support for 400Mhz CPU even if not the Ultra400 Chipset (BIOS update) ... makes a difference if you do not have money to upgrade =) Regards, -- Martin Schlemmer ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
