Hi,
I am planning to buy a new PC for computing simulations in R under
Linux. I was searching the web/mailing list-archives for useful hints
about the optimal choice of hardware - surprisingly I found no recent
topics.
As far as I know, R doesn't use threads, so I think that there should be
no

I recently ordered a computer which is intended to run both WindowsXP
and Linux (of course both versions of R as well). Before placing the
order, I discussed it with our system managers. They highly recommanded
a system with one P4 CPU with Intel's so called hyper-threading

I thought there are quite a bit of evidence that Hyper-Threading may be more
of a debit than credit under many conditions. Is that not so? We have a
dual Xeon box running Linux, and we disabled the HT.
If the computing tasks will ever reach the 3GB limit on memory, the best
choice is still
