You have the 845PE chipset motherboard...

Yes, the chipset are correct. But the onlt bad thing abotu it i that the board only takes 1GB of ram so I wouldnt ecen bother buyign the processor.

hi

but my problem is the chipset software of intel shows me as the  chipset not only the 845PE, it shows also 845 G/GE/GL/GV ?? and not all of this chipsets are supporting  hyper threading ??

My motheboard is not the same as shown at the intel's site. For example i haven't got an onboard soundcard with 6  Chanal output ?

sh** !! i haven't seen that ! You're right, i can upgrade the ram max. 1 GB !!!!  This really a bad news  ! I have another questions now:

- Is Dell also selling motherboards( althoug they will be cost more and will be maybe not  good as the other motherboards) ? If yes, where can i buy it ( pls write a link for this)

-Ok, if the chipsets are right, as i sad before, not all of them  are supporting  Hyper Threading !! So this means, i still have not became an answer for my wuestion ? Is MY motherboard supporting Hyper THreading ??

thx for the answers

cheers

What does that have to do with HyperThreading? What do you use your computer for that you need more than 1 gig of memory?

I agree with Area_51. With today's applications, why would you even need more than 1GB of RAM. Anything more is definitely overkill. As for the 4550 supporting Hyper-Threading, it certsinly does. You need to get a 3.06 CPU in order to utilize it. That piece of trash 845PE will not support the new 800MHz FSB or the slower Pentium 4 CPUs that support Hyper-Threading. You definitely have an Intel-based 845PE motherboard.

hi again

Ok, for now there is no need  more than 1 gb ram, but, a motherboard must be upgradeable, and -as Maverickman  said- this piece of trash 845pe have not this ability.

But if you are sure, the hyperthraeding support is a very good news for me.

Cause i'm thinking to buy a 3,06 cpu, and so i want to be sure ...

As I said, the 845PE does support the 3.06GHz CPU with Hyper-Threading, but this is the only CPU that mobo will take that supports HT. The lower-end P4s with the 800MHz bus will support HT as well, but you'll need the new Intel 875 or 865 mobo to support them. The 845PE is already obsolete and ready for the dustbin.
