The HT does slow down some game and speeds up others while on GTA4 i dont think it has any type of impact. As i stated above i think even after disabling HT GTA4 will read the CPU with 8 imaginary cores!!!

22% means real 44% cpu utilization see my post above.....
Still in price to performance Phenom II is better as compared to i7 platform
If HT is turned off, Windows can only 'see' 4 cores (or threads). Do you know something we don't? If GTA IV can only run on 3 threads, what's the use to enable HT? To cheat?
