Just to notice one of my latest experiences:

I don't have any hammerfall stuff, but I've recently upgraded my rig to a
P4@2.80C, and I must tell that HT rocks!

Unfortunately, as for a SMP-enabled-kernel properly recognize the logical
CPU couple that HT magic offers, ACPI must be full enabled. Otherwise
you're not pushing these P4s to full throttle where DAW should be king :)
at least where hyper-threading/SMT is the issue.

So, turning acpi=off is somewhat a serious compromise, rather some kind of
trade-off. Be warned.

But maybe you're dreaming with AMD64...

Meanwhile, I am already producing with a very workable machine, and I
guess it is not that expensive (about 600EUR/~$ was the deal on upgrading
a late dual-P3@1GHz).

All Linux-based and a joy :)
