<div class="IPBDescription">Just gave itself Hyperthreading.</div> Has anyone experienced a sudden influx in their PC to be able to do more things at a time? Case in point:

I right now, am:

Surfing this
Downloading Something
Updating FFXI(using the Play Online Viewer Program)
Installing a Game(BF:V, 2nd time[reg cleaned, thanks Zaphod!])
Unzipping A Game
Playing A Game
Listening to Music


Now, 4 weeks ago, if I tried this, my computer would explode. What the heck?

    For the past couple weeks, I've been getting uber-mysterious performance drops. Obviously, you're sucking all the <a href='http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/C/computron.html' target='_blank'>computrons</a> out of my box, and replacing them with your excess <a href='http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/B/bogon.html' target='_blank'>bogons</a>.

    If this keeps up, I'm going to start charging you rent.

    Your computer got viagra from an 'unknown source'

    In all seriousness, looks like something that hampered your PC stopped working and allowed your computer to use its resources.

    Lol, sounds like the start of an urban legend.

    "I know someone who knows this guy who's computer just sped up for no reason, he could do things and run on resolutions that were never even dreamed of before... 7 days later his hard disk exploded, destroyed the rest of his computer and started a fire which eventually singed his curtains!"

    Morale of the tale being... don't hang your curtains above your PC...

    or something.
