Re: Hyperthreading & 8.0

And a tomshardware.com article here:
http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/02q1/0203131/index.html
specifically last paragraph on this page:
http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/02q1/0203131/dual-10.html

Basically it works; but the software has to be written to utilize it from
the sounds; otherwise the additional overhead actually decreases performance
from how it reads.  It also decreases memory performance...  Sounds like
something you want to turn on if you like seeing your dual processor system
as a quad processor system or if you really need it.  It may be that
eventually enough apps are written to take advantage of it that you may
actually want to use it all the time...
