I have a laptop that I want to do this on (not related to flight sims), I've looked in the BIOS, nothing doing so far as I can see.

but AFAIK if your have a program that is written as a multi threaded program then you are still going to be running multiple threads even if it is on the one core.

Yeah, I think I understand that. The laptop has two real cores running at 2.13 GHz, and hyperthreads those to four virtual cores, presumably running at <1.07 virtual GHz, and it slows up all the time. Might be the slow hyperthreading, might be heat related, I'd like to stop the hyperthreading to see whether that made any difference, but the BIOS doesn't appear to have any options for that. I was hoping there was some way via Windows, because I haven't tried that yet.
Oh well, thanks for taking the time.
