Hyperthreading is a native feature with nearly all pentium 4 (and beyond) processors. The only ones that don't have hyperthreading were the very first generation pent 4's.
By default, and I do not even believe it can be disabled, hyperthreading is used. There is no way for it to inversely effect your system, so don't worry about it.

Hyperthreading can be disabled, though it is enabled by default. You should use it, unless you have a specific reason not to. A processor with hyperthreading enabled has up to a 30% performance increase versus an identical processor with hyperthreading disabled. The only con I can think of is that it is energy inefficient.
