Well I thought I would share this bit of information with everyone. I like using both IE and Firefox but I found that Firefox had a tendency to lock up repeatedly. Trying to browse any forum could take anywhere from 30min to an hour with all the lockups inbetween.

I finally searched the main support forums and found that Firefox HATES Hyperthreading. Instead of turning off precious processes and systems all that needs to be done is through your Modzilla Firefox Icon.

-Right Click on your desktop Icon.
-Go to Properties.
-Click on Compatibility.
-Select to run the program in compatibility mode for Windows98/WinME
-This will ensure that Hyperthreading is disabled for your browser program ONLY.

Hope this helps someone

Hmm that's odd. I use hyper-threading with FireFox and haven't had any problems yet. Thanks for the info though.

Hyperthreading involves your processor mainly with dual CPU's. Just helps your comp achieve more when you are running multiple goodies. My smilies wont pop up either I have to actually put them in like with keystrokes. The Instant Gremlins dont Instantly gremil for me

lol i dont know anything about that. I would expect double orders happening cuz they are drooling and clicking their mouse so fast to try and beat the rush for keys.
