Should i turn it on or off? I currently have my settings turned off for HT technology. I read in a magazine that HT is for multi-tasking and if your a gamer.... you should have it off since it will not dedicate all the power the game. I just downloaded a Quake4 patch that states an increase of 25% to game performance if HT is on? I dont play quake4 all the time i have other games as well that i play. I run a Pentium 630 HT, its not dual core

How do you turn it off?

I have a pentium 4 3.0e and I leave the hyperthreading on. For my pc it doesnt make a difference.

I tried turning it off once, didnt help any. I do play graphic intensive games.

Just try it and see if you get better results.


You have to go into the bios and disable hyperthreading.

General its only the intel hyperthreading that can cause probs, i havent heard of it being a bother with AMDs.

Alot of games are ok with it especially after the first couple of patches its when they are just out some will go abit funny, it wont make a difference usually games dont use it, and you really arent going to notice the boost in quake 4 unless its struggling to play at the moment, if you are looking for Q4 mods the parralax mapping one is really good makes it look even better.
