thanks,

i'll try to do so (check if windows does correctly enable=20
hyperthreading) as fast as i can but it only means, and at best, next=20
week end.

i'll keep you informed.

NB: Is contacting Asus technical assistance will be worth the effort (i=20
only mean notifying them of this issue -with a copy of your answers-=20
because they won't do much of course)? I guess no but...

happy 2005 everyone
