Disable Hyper-Threading on Dell XPS L502x

Question

Does anyone know how, or if it's even possible, to disable Hyper-Threading on an Dell XPS L502x?

I've checked the BIOS, which seems like it's hiding a lot of the usual options, but can't see anything.

I've tried disabling Intel SpeedStep, which did nothing.

Thanks
Kieron

It depends on your OS.

On FreeBSD sysctl machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=0 will disable it.

According to these similar posts on superuser it might be a bit harder on windows 7.

You can do that via a mod-ed BIOS, see this thread.
