new cpu installed, will not boot!

Hyper-Threading support requires two things :
Hardware support, motherboard/chipset have to support it
Software support, Bios has to support it as well as OS
Both are depending on each other.

Instead of paying a lot for a useless Bios you should have better bought a newer mainboard supporting HTT.

I have to say that I agree with Denniss. As both he clearly stated and as I also pointed out eariler, both the board and BIOS must support hyper-threading.

If not, it does not matter what BIOS you install, you will not be able to use a HT (hyper-threading CPU).

so basically esupport lied to me by saying the bios upgrade would ad HT support. i basically i am using this old medion 1294 desktop, and i wanted to max it out until i build a new computer, i dont think i can slap a new motherboard in this one cuz i bought it in costco and it was pre built.
this is what i am working with, i have it about maxed out as much as it will take, it has 2gb ram, p4 2.66 pny geforce 6600 256 agp. that video card was a pain to get working, that was why i did the bios in the first place. check out all the fans i put in! i changed the psu since the pix, it has a 650w one, and a different processor heatsink and fan. soundblaster 24bit value card. it also has dual nec dvd burners. this thing is like a crazy modded out old pc. lol

This hack boasts that it can give you HT support... I guess it's worth a shot.

If the board does not support HT, the BIOS cannot add HT support.

Denniss seems to think the board does not support HT. My position is that I do not know if the board supports HT. If you want to find out whether the board is a HT board, check it's specs - probably on the website I directed you to.

If this is a non-HT board, forget your new CPU working on this board.

nitpicking: HT is HyperTransport, P4HT is P4 with Hyper-Threading, HTT = Hyper-Threading Technology
