Why do you want to disable it? Performance hit depends on the game, any game with the
UT engine likes HT ive heard. Coming out of games might be a bit laggy, its best to have it on.

reason why i asked was someone suggested by disabling it i may get higher fsb for my 3.0c instead of stuck @ 240fsb.

It's unlikely you can try it. Disabling HT normally just lets me boot into windows at a high clock speed, never a higher stable overclock, thats what ive had anyway. You might want to try some different ram ive seen alot of people stuck @ 240 and then 241 is hella unstable.

well wait, i thought game engines couldn't take advantage of 2 cpus? If you want better game performance and not multitasking performance you get another 50% for the game to use! I have heard people say they get better framerates on lower end chips.

the game will utilize 100% of the cpu even with HT enabled.. cause it takes precidence over anything else running on your computer at the same time.
