    Hello, Sony Vaio users !

    I have one of these laptops, equipped with a Intel Pentium 4 CPU (Prescott), 518) running at 2.8Ghz, with 1Gb of ram and ATi chipset. It's running well on Windows XP and I am looking forward to donate it. But before that, I want to solve the CPU issue it bothered be since I bought it, but now it could be critical.
    Is there any way to activate the HT option on a laptop with a HT capable CPU ? I have no option in bios for this, Windows sees only one thread. HT improves Intel capacity with ~ 30% and could make it run HD clips smooth.
    If it helps, the mainboard, as Aida64 sees it, it's a Sony Vaio Q-Project.
