i noticed the option to deactivate HT in my BIOS. i was wondering what i should expect performance-wise if i do it. from waht i've read, HT is not that great

i mostly play game, but i do some avi-to-dvd from time to time, and i do a lot of dvd-burning and dvd-reading

thank you

DONT, that would be very dumb
HT is a good feature, it kept intel afloat during rough times imo
expect a 10-20% noticable decrease in performance

Any multithreaded program will benefit from HT. And all the new games will be multithreaded so it will help with them.

Yep, & HT is good for background programs...(Including antivirus softwares)
