While there are situations where HT is not ideal the performance drop is usually not earth shattering. For general every day stuff, leave it enabled however for most games and stuff (with some exceptions for games that are coded for HT), you'll prolly want it off (essentially disable it for anything that depends on the BUS as the individual execution units will be negotiation for those resources). Even then (worst case) you wont notice something like a million fps drop or anything
