Hyper Threading Supported Software

[~*McoreD*~]

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.
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.
