i really wonder why people buy Ci7 and then diable HT... thats the main reason i bought Ci7... more threads to do more works... I could get out more Mhz cheaper from C2D Quad and better FPS in games (which most of the guys here do) the with Ci7.

same reason people buy quads over duals perhaps Maybe he upgraded from a very dated machine? I wouldnt assume before I knew the whole story mate.

Yes, i had a Pentium 4 computer xD!

I had a Pentium 4 computer, so its like a really really big upgrade!
I had to choose going Quad Core or Core i7(Latest Tech) ? So why not

Money, plain and simple. You can get similar/better performance with a C2D for less money then with a Ci7, especial when your NOT using HT.

For games maybe, but not video editing. Ci7 is far superior when video editing/encoding - especially on HD content. its not ALWAYS about FPS
