I asked about HT recently and somebody (ET perhaps?) asked me to
report back as to whether or not I felt it makes a difference in
performance. All's I can say is HELL, ya! I can see it
especially in how Firefox operates, and how multimedia performs
when I'm other things at the same time.
My one complaint to Mandriva is that when I run win4lin using
the smp win4lin kernel, my computer dies every time. Gotta stick
to UP for that. Fortunately I don't need it often.

Problbily me, I have long enjoyed SMP computing in Linux, and known how
bad it sucks in M$ products (before XP anyway). I have not yet sprung
for a HT cpu, but have had a dual cpu motherboard since about 1999, when
I saw how much better Linux programs with an smp kernel run, I was sold
on Linux. I used to show friends how long it took to burn a cd in winME,
(never can see 2 cpus) and then with MDK 7.2, where we could burn a CD,
play games download another CD and run a webserver all at once.
