To HT or not to HT, that is the question?

I'm running Win XP Pro and am wondering if I should utilize the hyperthreading or not. I've noticed some members have it disabled and others not. Mine is enabled currently and am happy with the performance. Would it improve if disabled?
Any input would be welcome.

depends on what you do... hyperthreading does nothing (might even hurt performance just a little) when you are only doing one task, i think its only when your running two or more programs that it helps you.

Mainly game and tinker with this particular machine. Email and browse forums. Although I do edit and manipulate photos on this one.

Only disable it if for some reason it limits your OC.

if this is pretty much all you do, you won't see much of a difference
