Hi all,

My first Q on Tom's Harware :)

I have the Alienware Aurora ALX, nice computer but I can't disable HT in BIOS - there is not an option to do this :/ there were at my last computer (Dell Studio XPS 435MT) with same chipset, in advanced settings (or something simular :)) but now I'm stuck.

Is there a way with software to shut it off?

Main reason is that GRiD will not run with 8 "cores" and editing of some config. files didn't do the trick..

Please help. :)


Kind regards,
Martin @ Sweden

Grid wont notice any differenece between 1/2/4/6/8 cores weather they are physical or logical.

Most software these days - especially games will not make use of more than two cores at best.

HT is of limited or noticeable use to most people and i seriously doubt that it will stop Grid from running.

Which operating system are you running ?

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

I beleave it's HT, because when I shut it off in my previous i7 (920) GRiD worked like a charm.

GRiD doesn't run at all now :( game starts but when loading 1:st race it's just loading and loading.
