I just did some simple tests about HT on/off. I used 7-zip internal benchmark feature and Cinebench R10 to test since they allow me to control how many Threads I want them to use. Each test I did 3 times and take the average value of 3 results.
Simple config. for reference:

I had similar prob with my P6T Deluxe, I solved by just go in BIOS and set the floppy drive to "none", since I don't have one but it default as 1.44, so during the OS installation, it check the A drive and wait for timeout.
Cool, I think I am going to buy 4870x2 then, even the GTX 280 only give me 40s fps at some point in WoW (like Illidan fight), I hope I can get 60s with the x2 :)
I am an owner of 3870x2, 8800GTX and GTX280, what I concern most is the micro stutter problem. I play World of Warcraft most and I notice micro stutter everywhere with my 3870x2 with the fps meter showing 60 (vsync-ed), but with my 8800GTX and GTX280, the problem totally gone. I know some...
My problem solved finally, you guess what? I think ATI is going to discontinue to enhance their driver for windows xp, at least for the Crossfire part. After 4 times of windows XP fresh reinstall, I decided to give vista 32 bits a try, with the official cat. 8.2 for vista, it just work with WoW...
I just got a GeCube 3870x2 to replace my 8800GTX. The problem I got is the FPS dropped from 45-60 to 20-25 in 25 men raids and outland city after the card change. This problem doen't exist with some other games I tried like Hellgate:London (DX9) and Tomb Raider Anniversary.
I tried to...
HLT working with Windows XP, but when one of the core is in HLT (Idle) mode while the program call for TSC value, the X2 will give out a wrong value, that make games which use TSC value as their speed controller become shuttering. The 896256 hotfix is to let windows itself use the APIC value...
It is proved that the HLT command will make the X2 to give out wrong TSC value, this symptom never appear on Pentium D, Dual Xeons and Dual Single Core Opterons systems.
The guide is awesome !!!
Thx for the afford to create this guide, but here, I also try to use my little power to ask you - all X2 users please help to report/complain/RMA your buggy X2 processor(s) to AMD and force them to face their own problem. I never saw so many users affected with a...
I'd like to add something on this topic. I just replaced my AMD X2 4200+ machine with a P4 830 one. Many ppls have a concept of "AMD is good on gaming", it is not really correct. FPS is just a part of the total gaming experience, stable, error free also parts of it. I used almost half year...
I own the 64bits windows but went back to 32bits because lake of driver and software support:
Epson scanner - Checked with Epson by phone, no 64bits driver planned.
Logitech MX510 mouse - No schedule on 64bits driver, work like a normal 400dpi mouse with M$ default driver.
ActiveFax -...
