Well, my motherboard doesnt have a HT on or off toggle. Id have to change
the XP HAL to completety change the HT mode (im not going to!). I did find
however that if you run two speed tests simultaneously it gives strange
results. One test completes much faster than the other but gives a low score
( rsa 4096 bits sign of 4 vs over 7) while the other completes normally. I
suppose in some ways HT seems like having 1.5x CPUs.  Saying that, the
*combined* score is still lower than Up1500\Athlon 2666.
