Yes service pack 4 did address as I recall one tiny issue with HT. win2k however does not take advantage of HT reguardless. I think someone mentioned that it didn't 'support' it, what they meant was it didn't take advantage of it, not that there were problems with in on win2k.
Not sure really why we're talking about this as HT doesn't help hlds much if at all, infact there was some discussion last year on this list that seemed to indicate it hurt more then helped. (now if your running hlds and many other items on the box..yeah it might help you.) btw intel does not go around telling people to disable HT on win2k boxes, that's not to say however that in same rare cases it can be benificial, such as dedicated gaming server systems. -----Original Message----- From: David Fencik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 19, 2004 8:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlds] Windows 2000 or Windows 2003? I thought this was addressed in one of the service packs. Why anyone would want to run hyperthreading for gameservers is a mystery to me.
