Yea HT pertains to Multitasking. Sometimes when you are running a single app. like encoding a video file you might even see a performance drop as I did. I got slightly better encoding performance when I disabled HT from the BIOS. If you're into gaming go for the AMD 64. They beat the P4 hands down in this one. If you're into Video Editing the P4 would be the better choice (i know through experience). But know that HT does not give you any seious performance gain. It's just the hype that seems to follow all intel products around that has made HT seem like killer stuff. It's definitely not.
