I've heard it suggested several times now that features like HyperThreading can be enabled or disabled "in the BIOS" and I don't understand how that can be possible. AFAIK a CPU either does or doesn't have a given feature and there's nothing (short of modifying the CPU's microcode) that any BIOS can do to "disable" it, at least not in any way that would prevent a capable OS from doing as it pleased once it was booted. So, what's the story? _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
