Hyperthreading?

[sataraid0]

Does windows 2000 professional support hyperthreading?

Would like to use win 2000 pro rather than xp to avoid the extra blot and thought win 2000 pro would be good to run F@H on. However, if win 2000 pro does not support ht, then guess better of to use xp.

Thanks in advance for your replys....................Sterling

However, hyperthreading DOES work in Win2K.

I used hyperthreading with W2K for F@H 6 months. Worked great.
