I can't find the enable hyper threading option in BIOS
Hello,
I have just set up a new computer for myself using ASUS P4R800-VM and Intel 2.6 C processor. According to the manual, there was supposed to be an option in the BIOS to enable HT as I have installed Windows XP. However, I cannot see this option anywhere in the BIOS. I did update the BIOS but still I can't find this option. I used the utility available on the Intel site to check the running frequency of my processor. The processor successfully runs at 2.6 MHz with the system bus operating at 800 MHz. Does this mean that the HT Technology is enabled on my system. Any response would be much appreciated! Thanks to all! Arsalan |

Thank you very much Dorph. I do have 2 processors under the
performance tab. I have one more issue though. The boot up time is noticeably long. In the BIOS, I have enabled the option of Quick Boot but still, it takes like 2 - 2.5 minutes to boot up my computer. I have 512 MB RAM and hard disk is almost empty. During the boot up procedure, when BIOS starts identifying the IDEs, that is where it gets delayed and then it tries to identify "USB Mass Storage Devices" and says none found. I never have any USB devices attached during boot up. Any ideas how I can solve this issue? Thanks again. Arsalan "Dorph" wrote in message ...

Disable all the stuff you arn't using in the BIOS including USB storage
devices, the second IDE channel, etc. Then it won't take the time to attempt auto-detection on something that isn't there. "Arsalan" wrote in message om... Thank you very much Dorph.

Dorph Yes despite what the manual says there is no way to turn on and off HyperThreading. Asus does mention it on the website though. I found out because I was having trouble getting Win2000pro to work with a 2.6c and of course 2000 doesn't support HyperThreading. Would have been nice to know this ahead of time so I didn't have to make a secound trip to get an XP disc. Anyway I have no trouble with the boot times on mine takes about 45 secounds from pressing the button to having a useable desktop. Maybe try the updated bios that is available ver.1002 I believe. Also I recommend using the updated chipset drivers from ATI rather from Asus it is a more complete all in one download rather than the 2 parts from Asus that you have to combine first. Board seems to work ok as an integrated board but I am really surprised that Asus would offer it as a retail offering it just isn't up to the Asus name IMHO. The AGP retention mechanism is probably the cheapest looking thing I have ever seen on a motherboard. |

Thank you very much for your tip Peter. I appreciate it. However, I do
not have any option related to USB storage devices in the BIOS settings. I do however have the USB legacy and USB1.1/2.0 options enabled. I am not certain if these are associated with my problem!

Any chance your first boot device is something other than the IDE drive?
