    According to this page, Intel states the 2.4A Prescott does not support HT.

    They lied All of the prescotts except the 533 models have HT, looks like the description the shop is using was just a generic one for the 800mhz fsb models.

    intel say...
    Hyper-Threading Technology provides thread-level-parallelism (TLP) on each processor resulting in increased utilization of processor execution resources. As a result, resource utilization yields higher processing throughput. Hyper-Threading Technology is a form of simultaneous multi-threading technology (SMT) where multiple threads of software applications can be run simultaneously on one processor
    Looking at that, and if its truth, then yes. also, my 2.4 HT @ 2.5 is a tad off the 2.6 on SiSandra. But personally, i'd like to compare. Also, a HT enabled PC in Device Manager shows it as a multi-processor PC, and i am shown 2x PIIII 2.40ghz under processors. So, it seems to me HT CPU's act like dual CPU 's. Also taken from another forum (Click here to visit thread) its stated it does make a difference when multi-tasking.
    HT makes a huge difference when multi-tasking; if you're playing a game it doesn't make much of a difference. If you plan on running IMs, Winamp, IE and Photoshop then it makes the difference. But if you've got a high end processor you don't really need HT unless you'll be doing something like the fore mentioned.
    .

    Hope all that cr4p helps
