Hi,
Usually in the CMOS Settings.

>PMFJI - Neil, where do you disable the HT? I havent looked, just thought I would ask.

>>Hi,
>>Google "hyperthreading", there are pages and pages of reported problems. If there isn't a BIOS upgrade or Main Board driver update, just disable it, end of problem.
>>
>>BTW the problem only occurs during intensive operations, in the photoshop scenario it was when doing intensive rendering of an object with the mouse.
>>
>>>Do you have any details on this?
>>>
>>>Thanks!!
