First of all remember that Hyper-Threading is not SMP. (Symmetric Multi-Processing)implies several processors, and we have only one processor. However, it is supplemented with a certain feature which lets it pretend it consists of two processors. So, does this feature make any sense? Well, the Hyper-Threading technology allows increasing efficiency of the processor in certain cases. In particular, when applications of different nature are used simultaneously. This is an advantage, but the effect takes place only in certain situations. The classical market principle says: pay more to get more. It really boosts up performance sometimes. The effect can be much greater than even when we compare two platforms with the same processor but different chipsets. But the effect depends on a style of working with a computer. Note that the classical SMP style is when a user counts on the response of the classical multiprocessor system. The style of the Hyper-Threading is a combination of entertaining or service processes with "working" processes. You won't get a tangible gain in most classical multiprocessor tasks if you run one application at a time. But you will surely make shorter the time of execution of most background tasks used as a makeweight. Intel has actually reminded us that operating systems we are using are multitask, and it offered a way to speed up fulfillment of a complex of simultaneously executed applications (not a single one). This is a very interesting approach, and we are glad this idea is realized.

What versions of Windows support HyperThreading?
Windows XP and Windows Vista, Intel's Hyperthreading did not exist before these Operating Systems. Now I may be wrong here, but I am confident that hyperthreading is a technology built into the processor itself, and any operating system should be able to utilize it. You are right to the extent that Hyper Threading is built into the processor itself, but a chipset and OS which supports hyper threading are also required. Here is the link which gives the list of OS which supports Hyperthreading http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-017343.htm Windows XP supports HT Technology ,but widows and windows 9x/me does not

What are the disadvantages of laser technology?
For laser technology used in desktop laser engravers, the disadvantages are the price, work area, and limited laser power. The price is always the top problem for every laser brand, while due to more and more discount sales being on the way, people can get a 20W fiber laser engraver for $1,500 around. The work area is one of the main cons for desktop lasers; if you like a larger area, like 40*100cm, you get a huge "desktop" laser engraver machine; if you prefer a portable machine, then a small area is unavoidable. And the laser power, a desktop laser can reach up to 100W output, which is also the maximum laser power so far. Common desktop lasers have 10-80W laser power, and are mainly used for DIY and crafting. Lasers are harmful to our eyes if used in the wrong way; engraving without laser safety glasses, or closing the enclosure, can lead to irreversible harm to eyes.
