Good thing I got AMD :lol: Almost all my decision is heavily influenced by cost after a bad experience with expensive, brand name stuff
How do you tell if a program supports HT? Does Doom3 support it? My friend with P4 and ATI said it doesn't run too well with highest quality...

Hydra: Of course you didn't name what ATi card and what P4 he has. Not all P4 CPUs support HT, and not all ATi cards are capable of running D3 well at high settings.

It's a P4 3.2GHz and Radeon 9200.

I see... all these numberings are confusing. Why can't they use something different like TI and MX to differentiate the cards instead of just using FX and you have to tell by the number :???:
Ti and MX do stand for the better and the worse, right? oO

 

[WindHydra]

What the... you mean the higher number is slower than the lower number??! oO That's so messed up.

 

[WindHydra]

But for single thread programs does HT really only use half of the CPU power?

 

[WindHydra]

Then it's kind of pointless to have hyperthreading since it's like using two slower cpus...
