General question

Hi all,
I was just wondering since the answer to this question will decide which Laptop we purchase, does ArchiCAD 9 make use of Intels Hyperthreading technology ?

Thanks in advance,

I believe it does, but it doesn't directly take advantage of multiple processors.

Cheers,

Currently LightWorks renderer is the only ArchiCAD component that makes use of multiple processors. However, you have to take into consideration that there may be other applications/threads running in the background that make use of hyperthreading. Especially, if you play music while working in ArchiCAD...
