[Magictour] Hyper Threading Sucks!

Hey all,
 
I had to once again stop computing with two clients and return to one
client with HT disabled. The reason behind this is simple, with two
clients and the HT enabled, each client was suppose to use 50% of the
CPU but this didn't happen, each one was using about 30%. I went into
my CMOS, disabled Hyper Threading, restarted the system and, only ran
one client. The current client is using 99% or 100% of the client at
all times, I would rather search one tour at a time and do it a lot
faster then search several at a much slower rate. This way you guys can
see results a lot faster.
 
Also, my system crashed yesterday and the recovery console told me it
was because of MagicTour.exe. All work that was performed in the last
30 hours or so was lost when the system crashed because it couldn't save
anything. When I restarted the system, the client outputted a
solution.txt file and listed all its ranges but with 0000's. Weird! The
client also told me that it had computed all its ranges.
 
I'll keep you all posted!
 
Cheers,
