Firefox & Apps not respond with hyperthreading is Bios F

[drhaze]

Well after going around with Intel & Abit here's the scoop!
the newest revision of the prescott cpu has a new revision of stepping.
it's called e0 stepping. if you have updated your motherboard to the latest bios
and still have not responding problems you need to call your motherboard of pc manufacturer
and ask if they support e0 stepping.
After asking Abit if the support E0 stepping on their IS7 rev1.2 with bios 23
they said no and they are working on the micocode update to be compliant with e0
stepping. so the problem is with everyone's Motherboard bios and e0 stepping or maybe even d0.
if you haven't updated your bios that's why. if you do update bios and it still goes not responding
you need to give your pc or motherboard manufacturer hell until they correct their bios
to support the new stepping. it's not a bug or flaw in the cpu.
