Guest FxXP Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 To think I use to put up with the end users bellyaching for 2.5 years (yes I did phone support the blue). I really felt like saying "go build your own". Though HP really isn't that good in building PC's, 90% of the problems that I encountered over the phone were user based.

nic anelka Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I never realized XP Home edition disliked HT. Mind you I took it off my P4 1.6 pre-build Guess I'll have to invest in Pro... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dignan Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 So I guess our insessant OEM ramblings turned out something positive. As red said HT acts as though its dual CPU which isn't supported by home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMB3017 Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Wow Intel is really screwing people. It doesn't work with XP Home, it doesn't work well at all to begin with... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather blame M$, they're the ones gaining extra revenue from peeps upgrading to Pro...after all, you can now get procs as low as 2.4 with HT, so why hasn't M$ sorted out Home Edition?

Guest Ballz2TheWallz Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 i dunno bout you but my home has full dual support the task manager even allows me to assign certai processes to certain cpu's but if home really dosnt like dual cpu's then i might get pro instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I would rather blame M$, they're the ones gaining extra revenue from peeps upgrading to Pro...after all, you can now get procs as low as 2.4 with HT, so why hasn't M$ sorted out Home Edition? why should MS have to sort out XP Home?? XP Home isn't meant for the hardcore crowd. Most people here should be using XP Pro, not Home, as should any gamer. XP Home is for the "home user", like the family with 8 year old that plays barbie-crap and educational games. They don't need HT. That companies are selling pre-builts with HT and Home, is not MS's fault, but rather their fault, so blame them, not MS.

Paranoid Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I have XP Home Edition, just because I can't afford $499 for XP Professional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy54354 Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Im just gunna say i didn't pay 500$ for my XP pro. I got it at a discount price of close to 25 cents. This isn't going against forum rules is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I can't find a storein Toronto that has it for less than $499 for the full version, or $299 for the upgrade. I paid $150 for an XP Home upgrade, and installed it directly from that. I didn't have to mess around with FAT32 to NTFS conversion or anything.
