My first HT processor was a P4 in our current family computer (Gateway E-4100). Boy, is that thing fast, paired with a Radeon X9550, and you've got a nice computer that can play the slightly older games on max. (Doom 3, Half-Life 2, etc.)

Hyperthreading - A Pentium single core designed to fool the OS thinking that it's a dual core.
