Of course! I had forgotten, and now that you've reminded me, there are a few games that can exploit HT because they were already written to SMP.Quote:

WHat is SMP please?
What games were written to support this option...?
Still, will Win98 be able to function properly when HT is turned ON...?
Thanks,

have you called asus? no offence here, but some people need to learn how to pick up the phone...
None taken, but I did email them... about a week ago ...!
Still no reply. In 2 days here I got a lot of useful info that helped me a bunch, so thanks to all those who gave a hand :-)
So, what is SMP now ...?;)
SMP = Symmetric Multi Processing
This just means a program can take advantage of using more than one cpu when doing tasks so it can do it quicker. This is a really dumbed down definition, but it is still true nonetheless.
Can you please give me some examples of games that use this SMP architecture?
Thanks,
LIOR
If Asus has a toll-free Tech. Sup. number, I can't find it.Quote:

Jeez, installed WinXP on the PATA IDE HD, disconnected the SATA HD, and disabled the RAID controller (which doubles as the SATA IDE controller) and STILL CAN'T BOOT from a Floppy. Weird that I can boot from the WinXP install CD but not the floppy! Still stumped, confused, crying very large crocodile tears, and comsuming large quantities of adult beverages trying to fix this problem!
Are you really having problems with the floppy...?
I had these too, the floopy led was stay on all the time (usually not a good sign) so I wend down under the hood, and checked the cables. Turned out the the stock cable that came with the mobo was connected wrong to the mobo itself giving this outcome. I flipped it's alignment and voila... floopy boots, shoes whatever ...;) All is good.
But I guess you had already tried that, so maybe there is a fault in the floppy drive itself...?
Hope this helps...
Thanks for your help. I've tried two different floppy drives and two different cables; one set of which I know works(took them out of my Server just after checking to make sure the floppy disk works). Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :mad:Quote:

Well,
Maybe there is a problem with the connector itself on the mobo?
What about RMA for it? Good enough reason to get a new mobo, if you ask me.
BTW, what cooling solution do you recommend for the P4 HT technology?
I have a AMD system at home with a Vantech cooler and a fan that I forgot the model, but the cooler itself is made of copper and aluminum and the fan is magnetic bearing from Vantech. It also has an unusual size (72mm's). It serves me pretty good as I never go above 33 degrees celsius.
Thank-you,
LIOR
no, i dont think they have a toll-free number, but if you have the money for a brand new p4c system, i think you can afford 2 bones to talk to asus. thier support staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpfull. i have never had to wait more than a minute or two either. call them dude, you wont be sorry.
The stock cooler will work just fine up to moderate OCing. For extreme air OC, the ThermalRight SLK-900 and the Vantec Tornado 92x35mm fan (best get a Nexus fan controller to quiet that beast when not doing full-tilt OCing :D ) :cool:Quote:

Now where can I purchase this beast you mention??
Is this Vantec fan the special TMD bearing fan?
The one I have at home, gives quite an air flow and is indeed very quite...
Thanks again,
LIOR
At www.newegg.com of course:Quote:
