Hyperthreading: to use, or not to use

Hyperthreading: to use, or not to use...that is the question.

On SBS 2003, does the MS Stack benefit at all from using hyperthreading
on a Dual-Xeon CPU Box?


Any comments?

There are performance whitepapers for CRM available for download from ms
site that seem to show a significant performance benefit from
hyperthreading. Having said that I'm no expert in this area so do take a
look but certainly seemed to help from my reading of it

your correct in that some single threaded applications can run slower as
they end up running only on the hyperthreading part of the cpu however this
is not the case with crm. The entire system benefits from hyperthreading and
you will see up to a 30 percent spped increase over a no hyperthreading cpu

Dual hyperthreading cpu's are a nice thing :-)

We run SBS2003 on a Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz with HT and EMT64 (I wonder if we
will see SBS2003 64Bit? !!)

We have 2Gb ECC RAM.

It runs pretty well, however we have a modest install with only 5 users.
