Hyperthreading, How do I
 

Hi guy's,
Pete Bruno here, I just got a video capture card 1394 firewire and friends have told me to set up Hypertheading to make everything like, capturing,and editing on my Premiere Pro7.0, FASTER, with my one Pentium 4, CPU Dell 8400 3.0GHz with 250GHz hard drive
but I'm not sure if I really need it, or how to do it. Also what are the Pros and Cons of preforming this change? I am new at this site and not sure even how to recieve a responce to this thread, please advise.
Thanks, Pete Bruno

Check out Device manager > Processors on your pc. If you have hyperthreading you will see two processors listed. My pc is similar to yours.

In my nle, Edius Pro, hyperthreading is automatically recognised and supported. I am unfamiliar with Premiere. If it does not automatically recognise and use hyperthreading it sounds as though either
[1] you must go into some Premiere settings/project window and set it there; or
[2] it is not supported.

The same in Premiere. As far back as I've used it (6.0 to present), it will automatically detect hyper-threading.

Actually the older ones will just enable multiple processor threading. But its the same idea.
