It really depends. Some programs don't support it well (Fritz and Shredder for
example). Crafty does this well, Hyatt was on the ball in getting support as
soon as he grabbed a system that supported HT. Also you'll need a program that
supports 4 or more threads/process(or processors). If you only have a program
that uses 2 cpus maximum and all you've got is 2 cpus (both supporting ht) you
won't be able to enable the two HT threads for the extra boost.
