I have an HT compliant mobo and plan on getting an HT-enabled processor as soon as they're cheaper, so I've at least done some homework on the subject. For all intents and purposes, HT is pretty much usless right now, unless you use your computer as a server or run workstation software like 3DSMAX or AutoCAD on it. That's because these are the only applications that can truly utilize dual processing power. About the only game I can think that can make use of HT is Quake III, but I'm not sure, there might be more. However, as time goes by we can only hope that future developers will optimize for dual processing, because running an HT optimized game with an HT processor will be sweet, trust me.

By the by, WindowsXP and some other OSes are also optimized for HT, though I don't think that affects game play.
