I've re-built my P4 since my FX-55's motherboard keeps pestering me, but I've ran into a very strange problem. HT isn't detected in XP, even trying to force it to "ACPI Multiprocessor" as the computer type - it doesn't exist!

The only computer type I see is "Standard PC" - even unticking "Show compatible hardware" only shows "Standard PC". Any ideas why I can't get ACPI Multiprocessor to show so I can use the HT?

HyperThreading and ACPI are enabled in the BIOS. I've got an MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R motherboard with a Pentium 4 3.2GHZ Extreme Edition (Gallatin core) running Windows XP Pro SP2.

Cheers!
