Short question. Does a processor that has Hyper Threading Technology require a mobo that supports it? I see some mobo's with the added spec of "supports HT".
Thanks,
Paul

I wouldn't assume that. I'm pretty sure that a 478-pin type C Intel will work in any board that supports the speed (say a 2.4C in a motherboard that supports a 2.4MHz Intel CPU). Just don't expect HT performance.
