16 Setting Up and Using Your Computer
Use a blank CD-RW to practice CD recording until you are familiar with CD recording techniques. If
you make a mistake, you can erase the data on the CD-RW and try again. You can also use blank
CD-RWs to test music file projects before you record the project permanently to a blank CD-R.

Hyper-Threading
Hyper-Threading is an Intel
®
technology that can enhance overall computer performance by allowing one
physical processor to function as two logical processors, capable of performing certain tasks simultaneously.
It is recommended that you use the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later operating
system because Windows XP is optimized to take advantage of
Hyper-Threading technology. While many programs can benefit from Hyper-Threading, some programs have
not been optimized for Hyper-Threading and may require an update from the software manufacturer.
Contact the software manufacturer for updates and information about using Hyper-Threading with your
software.
To determine if your computer is using Hyper-Threading technology:
1
Click the
Start
button, right-click
My Computer
, and then click
Properties
.
2
Click
Hardware
and click
Device Manager
.
3
In the
Device Manager
window, click the plus (+) sign next to
Processors
. If Hyper-Threading is
enabled, the processor is listed twice.
You can enable or disable Hyper-Threading through system setup. For more information on accessing system
setup, see "Entering System Setup" on page 81. For more information on Hyper-Threading, search the
Knowledge Base on the Dell Support website at
