Before you defend HT so much atleast compare it against a similar offering from AMD and see the difference.
Sell all your PC's and use the money to buy a Athlon 64 series proccy or better yet a FX-55
If you care to understand architectures then you would understand that you can fit more instructions per clock cycle and have a slower gigahertz OR you can have higher gigahertz and fit less instructions per clock cycle. BUT you cant have both. Intel has chosen the latter for its pentium offerings while it has chosen the prior for its mobile offerings. So dont compare clock speeds of Intel and AMD because you would be a total idiot to do that :roll: Go learn a few things about CPU architectures before you start bashing Intel.
