Quote:Even with Hyperthreading, there's still only one physical processor, and the system will be limited as such. It's my opinion that hyperthreading will really only make a difference in benchmarking... If a single program is using +/-90% of the cpu threads, it makes no difference which 'virtual' processor the threads are being processed by.

Finally, someone who sees the reality of it ;-).

Did you see the clip on Tom's Hardware showing the performance between a 3Ghz clocked to 3.6GHz and the 3GHz with Hyperthreading enabled? It's rather interesting, and shows that there's a bit of merit to this when heavily loading the system down.
