This Hyperthreading is kinda cool

I'm setting here Defragging my HD, I have multiple IE pages open, playing some MP3's on musicmatch, and Outlook Express is open.
I know I know thats not much of a load I'm sure, But on my other PC when I was defragging I couldn't do much else with out things moving kinda slow.

i can burn a cd and keep surfin etc with no probs!
with my 1800+ if i burnt something i had to wait till it finished coz everthing else went waaaay slow!

well.... a 2800 @ 2.45GHz aint too bad for multitasking either!

Where do you set your priories?

....interesting..... my old 600 athlon would burn a cd at 44x while playing a 320kb/s mp3 and have not only a few ie browser open.... but i could play the occasional online Midtown Madness 2...... Although, considering i was using a kyro 2 at the time, that means even more load on the cpu..... 512mb of ram..... even without proirities set.... most programs will adjust..... some just are hogs and will take whatever juices they can grab......... Now 1900+....... that just adds more flavor to it..... Defragging doesn't nail me to much...... as long as nothing it hitting the hardrive to hard, won't slow anything down.... Ram would help there....
