hyperthreading?! :-/

[thtieig]

Hello guys... I'm a bit confuse about "hyperthreading" on Mac and hackintosh boxes.
I've built my own hackintosh and i'm really happy except for the fact that I can see iMovie extremely slow.
Moving on i5 2500 I thought to see improvements. It's a quad core 3.5ish (can't remember exactly), but I don't think it's using the 4 cores at the same time.

Does anyone knows if hyperthreading is supported? I've seen different info about this.

Also, my hackintosh is showing as Mac Pro Early 2008. Could this affect the performance?


Thanks in advance

the machine type is cosmetic, it shouldn't affect your performance. the 2500 also doesn't have hyper-threading (the 2600/2700 does).

find geekbench and see what your machine scores so we can see if there's a performance issue.

thanks, I will have a look.
For sure, you've already answered my question: no hyperthreading :'(

Now I've realised why the difference in price...
