We're experiencing a large number of deadlocks since we began running
SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition SP3 on a Dell 6650 with hyper
threading intel processors. We don't have the same problem on Dell
6650's w/o the hyper threading. If I turn off the parallel query
processing option the deadlocks stop. I've tried all of the suggestions
from the Microsoft Knowledge Base under the following link -

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=837983

The only suggestion that actually yielded results was turning off
parallel query processing but I don't want to give up what should be a
performance advantage if it wasn't for the deadlocks. Query tuning and
index tuning hasn't helped. Any suggestions? I haven't applied SP4
yet. I'm wondering if anyone has seen the same problem resolved with
SP4.
