And it's defined by chipset, some may have a config bit to enable/disable this function some may have removed it.

As I post numcores results before I told that I have disabled HT in BIOS (because in some cases it degrades performance under XP)

Yes, the MB has the latest Award non-UEFI BIOS where ACPI 1.0 was standard, ran in DOS with JEMM.

Then you should check for existence/validity of reset method. I can only say I have power down method that is used by fdapm to shutdown pc. Do you know some other program to test if reset is present? Maybe ACPICA has some ACPI compliance tests that would report it, I vaguely remember that I trid some such tool but didn't rememver what it reported...
