Hi to everybody! I am using a notebook with the above mentioned processor and several testing tools tell me, that this processor does support hyperthreading. But BOINC does not initiate two separate calculations, although preferences are set to use every processor he finds. Can anybody give me a hint what's wrong? best regrads uba36 |

Does the task manager show 2 CPUs in the performace tab? If not you may need to make an adjustment in the BIOS. I am confused though. The pentium M chips do not do hyperthreading, but I didn't think any of them ran as fast as 2.2 ghz. BOINC WIKI BOINCing since 2002/12/8 |

I wasn't precise enough. Actually, the CPU is a Pentium 4 Mobile , not a Pentium M. I apologise. |

> Can anybody give me a hint what's wrong? Pentium M chips do not support Hyper Threading. The good news is that they do crunch Seti@Home very well, especially the 2MB L2 cache versions. Which testing tools are you using that tell you it supports HT? |
