Thanks. Did alot of searching /research just to purchase. The two meter
thing was never mentioned, not even in the half dozen reviews I read. If searches answered everything, what would this newsgroup do....

I'm not impressed with my upgrade, who wants my hyper-threader 1mb prescott
2.8 custom built pc for 50 bucks? It's got the dual channel ram, and oh my, the sata. An ATI for stunning orgasmic graphic, on a mobo labeled "platinum" It runs quiet too Ahhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhh......A dvd writer, i've had a year and never used, and a 52x cdrom, just cuz it fits! I'll even throw in the usb bootable floppy......... hang onto this post, I bet its dumped like a $10 p2 a month or so from now.... I'm getting too old for this line of crap. Come to think of it, maybe the p2 for my net chores wasn't a bad 2100 dollar idea.... PC Evolution became synonymous with satanic marketing full of lies. I'm all done with it. Somebody take this two-meter-for-one-cpu junk and call it your treasure.

OK, I'll repeat my followup question from the last time this question was answered (because nobody answered me). Is the converse always true? That is, if device manager does NOT list two CPUs, does that mean your hyperthreading is not working or not set up right? What say you, experts?

If hyperthreading is turned on, and that selection is normally offered in the BIOS setup somewhere, then two CPUs should be displayed. -- John McGaw [Knoxville, TN, USA] http://johnmcgaw.com
