Hi,
I have just upgraded to a Pentium 4 2.8c processor supporting HT. Several of
my games do not support HT (I think) so should I disable HT in the BIOS?

Games in question:
Flight Simulator 2002 Std
Morrowind
Neverwinter Nights

My System:
P4 2.8c
1 GB PC3200 DDR RAM
60 GB HDD (IDE not SATA)
256 MB Geforce FX5600
D865PERL motherboard (using onboard soundcard)
Windows XP Pro
 
Having HT enabled shoudn't affect your gameplay, regardless of a given
game's support (or lack, thereof) of HT.

Tim stood up at show-n-tell, in #[email protected], and
said:
 
Most programs for Windows do not support dual processor (HT or second
processor). However, if your Windows has be set up with HT active and your
games/programs work, I would leave it. Newer programs/games may start using
the HT functions.

Realy depends on the Mobo, some yes some no, just make it slower for
some reason, its a stab in the dark when you turn it on, if it makes
thing faster leave it on, it wont hurt anything.

Bye.
