Default HyperThreading
I have a Xeon 3110 chip (pretty good oc)
Should i enable HyperThreading On my msi board?
Will this show any improvements?

Isn't the Xeon 3110 the same as a E8400? If it is, enabling HyperThreading won't do anything.

What board do you have? I've only seen 2 diff boards with hyperthreading... old boards that were designed for P4s and the new X58s.

Either way.. Hyperthreading won't do anything as your processor doesn't have it.

You can enable it on your mobo, but if your CPU doesn't support it, there will be no effect. IIRC, the last HT enabled chips before the i7 920 were the P4 3.4Ghz CPU's.

The P4's(most) had HT right up to the 67x 3.8GHz models.
