How do I activate the Hyperthreading capability of a P4MA Pro 533 motherboard if it is not listed in the BIOS?

I don't see it,

I DO see what looks to be a jumper cap, in-between IDE 1 and DIMM 2; BUT only in this photo,

Reddish/Orange in color. (Use mouse zoom in feature)

I'm also looking dead at the Motherboard Manual, and do not see it shown, or listed,

On the middle/left side, where in blue it has in a list;
BIOS
Drivers
Manual,

Click on Manual.

(It's a PDF file. The computer you are using now has Adobe Reader on it, which uses PDF files.

ORDINARILY it takes maybe 20 seconds tops, to download a PDF file. This one took almost 2 minutes!
Letting you know in case you do not see anything happening.
I just waited on the blue download progress bar.

Do you have the Clear CMOS jumper, down by the VIA southbridge chip?
It's right above, and in-between the USB 3 and 4 header, and the Front Panel header.

Question is not clear. how you can start without putting these two cables? and if they already clipped then what is the matter?

You will need to enter the BIOS by hitting delete key during POST.

Then navigate to tab System settings.
Locate the Hyperthreading field name and set it to enable.
Save setttting and exit.

Please take the time to rate my expertise, by rating this solution, its the thumbs up on the top right hand side of this solution.
Thanks

either you have bought an incompatable chip for the mother board. or your power supplie is not powerfull enough I know this sounds stupid but it happened to me when I upgraded to a P4 3.6 quad core I installed the lot and it wouldnt start up I had a good power supply too Get your self at least a 500 watt PSU

Hope this helps

pls install lan drivers with using motherboard driver cd

hold del at the boot up when you first push the power button.
instructions on how to access it are on screen briefly at the bottom in boot up mode before it gets to the operating system. in some cases it it f8 to access it

Reset your motherboard BIOS. Open your computer casing where the motherboard lies in and then find the bios setting jumper, it should be located near the battery. To reset your bios, refer to the motherboard manual. :-)

Hello,
The processor you are talking about is a single core processor capable of Hyper Threading. (HT).
When you allow hyperthreading in the BIOS, Windows will show 2 ghost processors in the device manager.

If you are authorized to acces the BIOS setup,,enter the setup and look for HT or hyperthreading. If you disable hyperthtreading in BIOS, you will only see one processor in device manager.
Besides, if it is a dual core the BIOS must know.

Look on the case of the computwr where the Windows logo apperas, you may find mentioned :With HT technology. It used to be a boasting/selling mantra.

Hope it helps.

You would have to run the 533 FSB at times 5 or 6 to get 2.4GHZ.
And if you did you probably would not see any increase in speed
Just because a computer can do something does not mean it should

This is the maximum CPU speed you motherboard will accept

P4 3.06 GHz (533 FSB, L2 cache:512KB, HT, C1/D1) [does not support hyperthreading]
