KNOW YOUR PROCESSOR

Q: How do I know HT Technology is enabled and working?
A: In Microsoft* Windows* XP Home or XP Professional there are two easy ways to determine if Hyper-Threading Technology is on without having to reboot to enter the BIOS setup.
Task Manager: Hit CTRL-ALT-DELETE, click on the Performance tab. You will see two CPU windows.
Device Manager: Open Device Manager, click on Processors. You will see two processors listed

'J' designator:This letter designator identifies Pentium® 4 processors that support the Execution Disable feature.

Intel® 64 Integration
OverviewCertain boxed Intel® desktop processors have support for Intel® 641, delivering flexibility for operating systems and future software that supports 64-bit computing.
In order to take advantage of this technology, an entire 64-bit hardware & software solution stack is required, ranging from processors and device drivers to operating systems, tools and applications. The primary value to users lies in potential performance improvements achieved by the ability to address greater than 4GB of both virtual and physical memory, the latter also requiring platform/motherboard designs including this much system memory.Digital media applications are expected to see benefits from Intel 641 in their ability to process high quality audio and video, as well as 3D rendering.Desktop System Requirements
To take advantaged of Intel 641, an entire 64-bit hardware and software solution stack is required.
CPU: An Intel desktop processor with support for Intel 64 is required. Consult the Processor Spec Finder to see which processors support Intel 64.
Chipset: A motherboard with the one of the following chipsets is currently required to support Intel 64: Intel® 910, Intel® 915x/925X/XE, Intel® 945x946x/955X/975X, or Intel® 965x/963x Express Chipsets.
BIOS: A BIOS must have support for Intel 64. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64-enabled BIOS. For Intel desktop boards see developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/genbios.htm. For all others contact your motherboard manufacture.
Operating System: An OS that supports Intel 64 is required. Supporting OS’s may include: Windows* Vista, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows 64-bit client OS release, Red Flag* version 4.1, Novell* Linux Desktop 9, or Red Hat DT* 3.0 and higher. Contact your OS vendor for more information on specific release dates.
Drivers: Although your OS should come with standard 64-bit drivers, you must update your hardware drivers with 64-bit enabled drivers to run in 64-bit mode. To obtain the latest drivers for Intel® desktop boards see http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/gendrive.htm. To obtain latest drivers for other motherboards and hardware see your product manufacture.
Applications: Applications must be coded and compiled to support Intel 64. Contact your software vendor for specific software capabilities.
Integration
Standard integration procedures should be followed for installing all the various system hardware components. Once all the hardware components have been installed correctly take the following recommended integration steps:
Download and run latest BIOS update for you motherboard. Some systems may not boot an Intel desktop processor with Intel 64 support if a suitable BIOS is not already installed. In this case you will need to install a processor into the motherboard that does not have support for Intel 64. Then obtain and install a BIOS that supports Intel 64 from your board manufacture before reinstalling the Intel desktop processor with Intel 64 support.
Boot the system and install an Intel 64 enabled operating system.
Update system drivers with drivers encoded for Intel 64 support.
Install 32-bit and 64-bit encoded software applications.
An Intel processor with support for Intel 64 can operate in either 32-bit mode or 64-bit mode. In all modes an Intel 64 enabled BIOS is required.
If a 32-bit operating system is installed, the processor will run in 32-bit mode. In this case 64-bit drivers are not required.
With a 64-bit operating system the computer will either operate in 64-bit mode or what is called Compatibility Mode. In either mode all system drivers must be 64-bit. In 64-bit mode, 64-bit and 32-bit applications can be running in the system concurrently. Legacy 32-bit applications run in Compatibility Mode. 64-bit applications will have new executables not compatible with 32-bit apps. In other words 64-bit applications generally cannot share libraries with 32-bit executables.

Intel Corporationis the world's largest company and the inventor of the x65 series of microprocessors, the processors found in most personal computer. Founded on july18, 1968 as Integrated Electronics Corporation and based in Santa Clara, California, USA, Intel also makes motherboard chipsets, network cards and ICs, flash memory, graphic chips, embedded processors, and other devices related to communications and computing. Founded by semiconductor pioneers Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, and widely associated with the executive leadership and vision of Andrew Grove, Intel combines advanced chip design capability with a leading-edge manufacturing capability. Originally known primarily to engineers and technologists, Intel's successful "Intel Inside" advertising campaign of the 1990s made it and its Pentium processor household names.

Intel was an early developer of SRAM and DRAM memory chips, and this represented the majority of its business until the early 1990s.[citation needed] While Intel created the first commercial microprocessor chip in 1971, it was not until the creation of the personal computer (PC) that this became their primary business. During the 1990s, Intel invested heavily in new microprocessor designs and in fostering the rapid growth of the PC industry. During this period Intel became the dominant supplier of microprocessors for PCs, and was known for aggressive and sometimes controversial tactics in defense of its market position, as well as a struggle with Microsoft for control over the direction of the PC industry.[5][6] The 2007 rankings of the world's 100 most powerful brands published by Millward Brown Optimor showed the company's brand value falling 10 places – from number 15 to number 25.[7]

Origin of the nam

At its founding, Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce wanted to name their new company "Moore Noyce". The name, however, sounded remarkably similar to "more noise" — an ill-suited name for an electronics company, since noise is typically associated with bad interference. They then used the name NM Electronics for almost a year, before deciding to call their company INTegrated ELectronics or "Intel" for short. However, Intel was already trademarked by a hotel chain, so they had to buy the rights for that name at the beginning.[9]
