Hyperthreading is good. Btw if your just running 1 program like encoding, you would see zero difference.
Its all about multitasking
Say if wanted to:
play a 3d game, encode a movie, browse the net
watch tv card, prime95
it can all be done at the same time. which i doubt a64 can it would lag too much!
if you have dual screen setups and run alot of programs, its nice to have hyperthreading.
Hypethreading is a cheap alternative to dual cpus
