NT4 Server

[jasonmct 0]

I will be setting up a server for a client and need to know if NT4 server is comapatable with xeon processors.

Somebody had mentioned that as NT doen not support hyper threading and xeons do - they may not work.

I figured it would, but can anyone confierm please?

 

Thanks,

J

yea just disable ht at the bios level and you will be all set.

 

the deal is that if you os is nt or 2k then it doesn't know that ht is only good if you do two different operation types at once. like 2 floating point opps are bad cause it is both trying to use same resources. But xp and win2k3 know about this and use hyper treading well.
