yes, on the same partition as the OS.....it should automatically attempt to install there anyway....it'll create a directory called C:/Scope....just go with the flow!

Is your keyboard broken sidon - that last post is almost incomprehensible?

no, put all the apps on c:. put all your song data on the second drive.

Sorry for the last post ,
Mr Arkadin you are right ...
I fixed it

anyway ,
I was told that I should put my audio apps in a differnt hard drive , inorder to utilize the hyperthreading of the pentium .

what do you think about this?

ht is bs. your computer will not do double the work just because it has 2 virtual processors. it MAY do slightly more mork if all the apps ivolved are properly optimized(unlikely).

you definitely want your audio DATA(tracks) on a different drive, however.

Hi startdust,
thanks for the info ,

What I see is only one cpu load window in the task manger,
but I have the HT enabled in the BIOS ,
and also I see 2 cpu in the device manger.

Is there something wrong?

Thanks,

Sid

Open task manager, in the menu go to View>Cpu History and see if its set to One Graph, all Cpu's

Thnaks alot guys.

I would appreciate if someone can link me to a good articel about the way HT works.

I was thinking it should work with a differtn cpu per HD , but according to what ws written here , it might not be the case.

Ant wya thanks a lot for all the info

it most certainly does NOT work one cpu per drive.
