Hyperthreading has to be enabled or disabled in the BIOS.
Disable HyperThreading in the system BIOS
The 3.2 GHz processor is slightly better. Please note that all 3.2 GHz Pentium 4s support Hyperthreading, so the 3.2 GHz isn't in any way disadvantaged.
That depends on the chipset the motherboard uses. 865P, 850E, 845PE, 845GE, 845GV, 845E, and 845G chipsets will all work with a hyperthreading Pentium 4 (a BIOS update may be required to support hyperthreading capabilities). Older chipsets like the original 845 and 850 won't work.
All Pentium 4s are single-core, so I'm not sure where you're getting "2 CPU" from. This may come from later Pentium 4s' use of HyperThreading, which is presented to the operating system as two processors, though only consisting of one.
The Pentium 4 currently ranges from 1.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz.
The fastest "classic" Pentium is clocked at 200 Mhz. The fastest Pentium with MMX extension is clocked at 300 Mhz. The fastest Pentium II is clocked at 400 Mhz. The fastest Pentium III is clocked at 1.4 Ghz. The fastest Pentium 4 is clocked at 3.8 Ghz. The fastest Pentium D is clocked at 3.7 Ghz. The fastest Pentium M is clocked at 2.26 Ghz. The fastest Pentium Dual-Core is clocked at 2.5 Ghz.
The AMD Quad Core runs at 1.5 Ghz. Multiply it by the amount of cores and you get 6 Ghz. 6 Ghz vs. 3.20 Ghz, which means the Quad core is better than the Intel Pentium 4.
According to the system requirements, it requires a 1.7 GHz processor. The fastest Pentium III clocks in at 1.4 GHz, so it would technically not meet the requirements. However, the late-model Pentium IIIs were very close and sometimes even exceeded the Pentium 4s in performance, so it is possible that with a good graphics card, the game will run fine.
recommended minimum CPU requirement for a windows server 2003 system running sus is 1 GHz Pentium III or higher processor; 3 GHz Pentium IV or higher recommended (dual processors recommended (for more than 10,000 clients).
No, in most cases, the Intel Pentium 2.4 outperforms the AMD Sempron 2500+
Yes, the official CPU requirement for Windows 7 32-bit is simply a x86 CPU clocked at 1 Ghz or above. Any Intel Pentium 4 meets those technical specifications. About Windows 7 64-bit, it depends on model of Pentium 4 : first models don't support x86-64 instructions but the newer models fully support them. Nowadays, a lot of netbooks with single core Atom are shipped with Windows 7 despite the fact that power processing of these netbooks is significantly below most Pentium 4-based system (especially Pentium 4 with HyperThreading)
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 1.3 GHz or AMD Athlon XP 1500
All CPUs branded "Pentium 4" are single-cored.
