Does anyone know if there are still problems with hyperthreading? I am fixing to upgrade my machine and wanted to know if i need to find a motherboard than can disable hyperthreading in the bios...or is there another fix? I want the fastest machine i can afford without shooting myself in the foot.

Hello,
First:
It should have been solved.
We don't have new questions about this since months.
:)
Second:
Are there motherboards supporting HT that can't disable it in their BIOS? (I don't know, I only ask because I find this surprising)
o_Ô
Thirdly:
Some solutions work without BIOS change:
- execute VDJ in compatibility mode for Win98 with HT enable
- and the best way (DJ Homeboy, post "http://www.virtualdj.com/forum/display.html?topic=3278") :
"
You can disable it from the Ctrl+Alt+Del window Heres a quote from our technical forums :
-------------------------------------------------
Run VDJ, then press CTRL-ALT-DEL and find virtualdj.exe from Processes window tab, right click that row and select the bottom item from the menu, this will give you possibility to "assign processor" to either "CPU 0" or "CPU 1". Now just deselect either 0 or 1 and "OK".
-------------------------------------------------
If you disable it from the BIOS you will losse all the advantages linked to Hyper Threading technology. With the manual method you loose the same advantages but only for Virtual DJ software.
"
Good Upgrade and good mix :)
