I had considered something like that but for the record, my Dell is a Pentium 4 M, 1.8Ghz, so I think that doesn't include the HT technology. Still, never seemed to do any harm. -- Bryan Phinney Laptops were mentioned in hte e-mail, and I don't think they use the HT yet. I think I read somewhere that the SMP Kernel is more responsive for a desktop system. I'd really like someone who knows something to confirm my rumours though.. Hugh
