Yes, that's it HyperThreading, I did not know the name properly.
So the graphic target isn't very important, only are important de processor
and the RAM memory. Here I only have 128 Mb, it isn't enough to work and the
processor is too old. I will be careful with the CPU cooling, I will tray to
keep it cold.

P.S.: Yes, here the weather I think is much pleasant than in your locality.
Today was cloudy and with the heat index very high. This days the
temperature is some warm.
The last week the computer stopped with a render taking 5 hours and a half.
It isn't pleasent hihi.

Regards,
Oleguer
