The issue is that running HT on both cores in a dual core would allow four concurrent threads to be processed. There are many benchmarks of the Pentium XE (dual core, HT) which show the few applications that support multithreading give big increases in performance with Hyperthreaded dual cores.
I am willing to only get 100 GB per disc, if the redundant copies in the 500GB space give me a good chance of seeing the 100GB I want...
I was agreeing with everyone saying this until I thought about something: by the time this comes out, it's likely that we'll want to use all 500gigs for storage. Think about if you had a choice between the current 4.7 gigs of space on DVD versus 900megs of redundant data. Thinking of the same concept on a CD is even more ridiculous.
The rate of data consumption may very well slow down in the next 5 years, but until then, give me large optical media volumes. I'll store sensitive data in other formats.

*yawn* Wake me up the next time Intel deserves to make so much noise over a (mediocre) product release.
Is it me or is Sony starting to sound like Microsoft?
That song has still got to be better than most of the music on iTunes.
Sorry but I have to issue a correction. It's Master Shake.
I feel sorry for the man who no can longer laugh at a joke but can see only "humor devices" instead.
