This might be handy to confirm yourself which software you purchase do support Hyper Threading Technology or not.

Please add to the list the software you know. Thank you. :)

Ok, here we go...





Adobe Premiere 7.0.1 or higher
Nero Burning ROM 6.3.0.0 or higher
Windows Media Encoder 9.00.2980 or higher
Windows XP Professional/Home Edition or higher

Windows 2000 Professional ?

My next CPU will have Hyper Threading ;)

Hey ~*McoreD*~,

I think starting a thread like this is a great idea. I have a 3.06 P4 with HT technology... I don't know which programs I am currently running that make use of Hyper Threading. The only thing I know of, which I get a kick out of, is seeing that there are two processors in the Performance Tab under the Windows Task Manager! :lol1:

I was able to get a really sick deal on a P4 3.2 which will be coming to me within the next 2 weeks! :)

I did download, but did not install yet, the update to Nero. I'll give it a whirl! :)

Hi SlickVic78,

Thank you!
I like my new 3.00 GHz P4 too. :D
You can also see in Device Manager > Processors, there will be two 3.06 GHz processors listed when you have HTT enabled.

Also another thing I noticed (I don't know if I am right) if a program supports HTT, the Performance graghs for both processors in Windows Task Manger changes quite similarly *if* the program supports HTT.

For example, I encoded a video in Windows Media Encoder and since the process is highly CPU intensive, the both Processor graphs went 100% and the Task Manager showed a combined percentage of around 100%
I encoded the same movie in Dr. DivX, and the the combined percentage was only around 53%. One processor graph was around 99% and the other processor graph was around 5%.

So from that experience, I concluded Windows Media Encoder supports Hyper Threading while Dr. DivX does not. I may be wrong.

~*McoreD*~,

HT is pretty cool! :) LOL I am very interested in knowing what else this technology could do... I have a feeling I'll be looking at my CPU processes now as you have mentioned. :) I'll probably start losing my mind. :lol1:

I am actually looking for a HTT supported Video Editing Application (like Adobe Primiere).

For some reason, Adobe Primiere fails to install in my computer. =(

Not too sure about Win2K Pro, might be an issue in a service pack to add some kind of support for HT.
