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).

This hack boasts that it can give you HT support...

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
