TMPGEnc Plus Multi-Thread settings for Athlon64 3200+ with HT

[akrako1]

Howdy! I just purchased an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor. I do tons of encoding with TMPGEnc Plus 2.524.63.181. I'd like to take advantage of the 'HyperTransport' technology that's in the chip. While it is only a single-core chip, I've heard that enabling multi-threading on applications will use the HT Technology, use "spare" CPU cycles, and decrease encoding time. What are the best settings to use with TMPGEnc that will best utilize the HyperTransport catabilities?

Since I only have a single-core chip, should I only enable one or two of these options? Would leaving them all enabled end up bogging down the chip and result in actually longer encode times? I typically have the Motion Search Precision set to 'high' or 'highest', so might it be best to only enable the pipeline for Motion Search? Sorry, i don't have much experience with Hyper/Multi-Threading/Transport...

Thanks in advance for any insights..

I'm afraid you have your acronyms confused.

HyperTransport is AMDs CPU interconnect technology and has nothing to do with Intel's HyperThreading symetric multi-threading (SMT).

AMD CPUs can only execute 1 thread per core.
