Saturn: I disagree. I am not familiar with Maya. But most software packages which max out the processor have already been written for multithreading, since they were coded to take advantage of dual processor workstations. Yes, most of these packages are certainly already multi-threaded. However, if you are already maxing out the resources of a single processor, it does not increase performance to allow the same processor to be treated as two virtual processors. Remember, adding HyperThreading doesn't increase the resources of a processor. It only allows the processor to use these resources better. If programs are already written in such a way that the processor resources are the bottle-neck, no increase in performance will be observed. -fyo
