What i've heard about it (i think Morpheus told me since his rig has an Intel prov with HT) is that it makes the proc work like 2 procs or smth, so it can handle more tasks.

"A technology developed by Intel that enables multithreaded software applications to execute threads in parallel on a single multi-core processor instead of processing threads in a linear fashion. Older systems took advantage of dual-processing threading in software by splitting instructions into multiple streams so that more than one processor could act upon them at once."

Ah here we go i was so close. :thumbs:
