HT not working on IC7-Max3

like Skid says, look for "ACPI Multiprocessor PC" under the computer entry
in device manager and look for two cpu's under the Processors section. if
you don't see those, then HT did not get enabled at the OS level.

did you swap the CPU after the OS was installed? if so, the OS will
*usually* detect that and add the multi-processor support on the next boot
but there are cases when that does not happen and a reinstall of the OS is
required.

This was a clean install with the CPU installed. Have tried the cou in
another MB and HT worked perfect.
Got an idea changed the driver for the processor from Uni to Multiprocessor.
Worked okay and said it had detected multiprocessor after an restart. But
still it only shows one processor.
Damn this is anoying

Got another problem too:
I use 2 x sata HD in raid works perfect. My winxp is running on these.
But i also have 2 IDE HD and when they are used for like storing a movie or
just moving a file it reads 100% CPU power and they are extremly slow. Have
tried with only one IDE attached along with the two SATA its the same.
IDE= 2 x Western Digital 80 GB 8mb cacne WD80JB
SATA 2 x Seagate 80 MB

Im an very experienced user but this i just dont get!!

Regards

Brian

do the regular IDE channels show UDMA If Available on the properties tab
under device manager?

as for the HT not working, all I could suggest is that the board needs to be
flashed to the newest bios if it is not already, clear the CMOS using the
jumper on the board with all power removed, then re-setup the bios settings
including enabling HT in the bios. Then see what you can do with the OS or
a reinstall of the OS from scratch.
