Tenchusatsu, Re: <It'll work w/ desktops, but almost no desktop application will benefit> (HyperThreading)

'Cause there aren't many desktop machines that do it. But if the hardware's there the developers will write the software to use it *REAL QUICK*. The potential performance gains are like -- well -- moving from an XT to an AT was back in the old days -- and then some!

IMO, CMP on a chip is stronger, but HyperThreading is good stuff.
