How can i use the hyper-threading(HT) feature in XP because of I have a ghost image Pentium 3 cloning to P4 machine(P4). Even if i enable the HT in Bios, it cannot see in the task manager and cannot pass intel HT test program which shown the Bios problem. what wrong with it?
If i install the XP OS from CD is okay. I can use HT. Any idea?

I think you have the answer here. :) Pentium 3's did not support hyperthreading, so your image is unaware of it. Did you load any motherboard drivers to the P3 image??

WILL POST FOR FOOD.
