I couldn't help but notice that all but a couple of you have AMD systems. Those of you without AMD had older Intel systems and didn't seem to know much about newer Intel technology. I heard a lot of "I don't know exactly how it works but sounds a lot better than HT!" and a little "hyper transport utilizes the computer better, besides who is going to rip a cd and play a game at the same time?" The fact is Intel describes HT in this manner so people will understand it. HT technology allows the CPU to execute two sets of commands at once. With our current software there are only a few games and programs that utilize HT technology such as AquaNox 2 Revelation and AquaMark3. You can't test the performance of a technology using software that isn't compatible or capable to use it. Now I'm sure your thinking "Well why buy something that isn't utilized by all software?" The answer "If we never change, we can never advance." Now, I am not saying one is better than the other because they are completely different things. I'm just saying; don't knock it if you haven't tried it or if you don't fully understand it. Also, I would recommend making a decision based on facts such as benchmarks. Prove your thesis, don't just say it if you can't back it up.
