Hyperthreading = Smoother Operation?

Is there a noticeable smoothness when working on a hyperthreaded PC? In what scenarios? I had read somewhere that this was the case, but can't remember where I read it. I'd like to hear what others have to say.
 
It's true. P4's w/Hyperthreading are very smooth multi-taskers. Also the HT enabled chips rock for video encoding.

They are a must if you wanna do video encoding and still use your PC. No dropped frames, and voices always match up.

i was talking to one of my friends who has a Pentium 4 2.4C and he said that it helps in that it allows you to use your PC so it wont take a minute to load aim (happens to me when i use Dr.Divx), but when you video edit, there is so much stuff being sent through the bus that it actually bottlenecks and you lose some performance there. Because i was dumb and went AMD :D (just bought a mobile btw...hopefully that lasts a long time :D) when i encode videos my pc is useless.
 
I notice that HTing seems to take away the little *burps* that my old AthlonXP 2700+ used to have, you like, the little stutters everyonce and awhile.

Love it to death.
 
Yes. I hope to build a dual Xeon "Nocona" system in the next couple weeks and get a couple 3.0GHz's or 3.2GHz's for some serious multi-tasking.

The real reason I am going Xeon though is to get the ability to do dual SLI when Nvidia sends PCI-Express cards to the masses.
 
Why not wait a month and pull down an nForce 4 motherboad for Dual Opterons?
