I did a lot of testing with it last year.  I never saw it cause an error,
but things often stall due to the idle processing clearing out too much on
the chip when one of the logical processor idles.  It caused erratic
performance.  Under a heavy load it *might* cause a crash, but I never saw
one.  I would definitely disable HT under 2000.

Subject: [THIN] Hyperthreading

Has anybody experimented with Hyperthreading On -vs- Off on Win2k
servers?  I've heard rumblings that it can be problematic, and perhaps
decrease performance.  I noticed that most SpecInt. winners have it
disabled.  I'm considering disabling it on one of my farm servers to
observe the results.  If anybody else has experimented I'd love to
hear about it.

Thanks in advance,
Bob
