I installed and ran AIDA 32 tonight and one of the suggestions is:

Quote:

Suggestion: Only 1 CPU installed, you should change to uniprocessor HAL.


I've found a few articles about it in reference to W2000 and/or NT but don't understand what I'm reading and not sure if it applies to my version of XP. Thoughts/suggestions please???

WAG: Seems like the HAL installed depends if there are mutlitple CPUs or a hyperthreading CPU installed.

In either case, I'd check your computer specs. As changing the HAL requires reinstalling the OS. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;811366

Karl - The last paragraph of the KB article says:

Quote:

If you run a multiprocessor HAL with only a single processor installed, the computer typically works as expected, and there is little or no affect on performance.


As I interpret this, I should just ignore AIDA 32s suggestion??? For my own info, where would I check my computer specs and what would I look for??

Deepika - I'm sorry but that's way outside of my scope.

You might want to try here:

http://search.microsoft.com/search/results.aspx?qu=hardware+abstraction+layer&View=msdn&st=b&c=0&s=1&swc=0

and see if any of the info there might be of help.
