If an application (and popular applications are not)is not written for
HT, you will not see much of a performance increase (in fact, HT may
hurt performance in small amounts in some situations). There are
numerous reviews out there chronicling this. If customizing a new
computer, I would go for it: I recently got a Dell Laptop and it was
only $50 more for HT on the same speed chip. On the other hand, I would
not recommend buying a new computer just for HT: truth be told, custom
building an AMD 64 bit system would most likely yield better performance
and result in more bang for your buck as software (slowly) turns to 64.

Subject: [gislist] Processor
I am preparing to buy a new desktop and want to know if the Pentium 4
with hyper threading is a benefit for GIS (ESRI products) or if it is of
no use... I ask this in response to the following footnote on the spec
sheet for the desktop
=20
=20
**The Hyper-Threading feature is a new technology designed to improve
performance of multi-threaded software products: please contact your
software provider to determine software compatibility. Not all customers
or software applications will benefit from the use of hyperthreading
=20
Processor: Choice of IntelR PentiumR 4 with Hyper-Threading** or IntelR
CeleronR=20
Thanks!
