I am still trying to trace the source of my random "glitching". I have found a handful of threads which claimed that use of Hyperthreading at processor speeds of under 3.4 gig are detramental to the performance of a SAWStudio system. I am running a P4 3.4 in the motherboard described below. I have highlighted the portion pertaining to hyperthreading. The glitches are far too nurmerous to tolerate and I am pulling my hair out now. I noticed Canipus authored some comments on this topic and I wonder if anyone has any thoughts as to whether disabling Hyperthreading in my bios may cause these glitches to go away? Also... from what I read.. it seems as though the consensus is that regardless of whether this is the cause of my glitching problem I should achieve better performance by disabling the hyperthreading feature in my Bios.. do I understand this correctly?
Below is the description of my motherboard.
