I researched the issue about hyperthreading and I disagree with your advice to disable hyperthreading. It seems that there may be an issue with SQL server and hyperthreading but that's about it. The problem with hyperthreading doesn't seem to be hardware related, it seems software related and from what I've read, upgrading to the latest revision of the software solves any problem with hyperthreading. DIsabling hyperthreading in the BIOS seems to be drastic measure.
