Its quite hard to tell how long any component would last, it depends on a few stuff, Intel is fairly well known for their processors, but AMD is not far behind in low to medium end CPU's. It depends on how hot the CPU will run, in what condition it is and etc, but from personal experiance the best CPU's are made by Intel, theoreticly Intel should laat longer, because AMD processors are power hungry and therfore runs hotter, but even that wont make a big diffirence. If you want to play Games Intel will be your choice, but for work, video editing, redering and etc AMD will do the job. Good luck with the descision and happy holidays.

You should be able to enable/disable HT through the motherboard BIOS.
It'll make a definite improvement, not the same as having four cores but using something that shows up convincingly in benchmarks. I'm not sure these days there's any good reason to disable it.

HT it will help dual cores a bit, but not a lot, and yes it can sometimes and most likely will hurt your gaming performance. Most Games operate fine with 2 to 4 cores.

It depends, most people say it hurts gaming performance, but in your case it might help cause its a dual core, I had a i5 650 and I had HT turned on from the moment I got it to the moment it left my PC, it actually gave me a fps boost, but very little, like 5 fps or something.
Alaa emad :
Last question 
will it help in most gaming (cpu intensive) ?
thanks very much for helping

The 'HT hurts gaming' belief mainly came about when HT was fairly new and games and the OS were poor at optimising for it. (I vaguely recall having to install a service pack for WinXP before HT would even work.) These days the support is much better, and I would think that even if an older game did play slower under HT, it would be running so fast on the new CPU that the performance 'drop' would be imperceptible anyway.
There are some benchmarks here that show some definite gains with HT on an (old) i3. Personally I'd enable it and only experiment with disabling it if you really seem to be running into problems with what you're using the machine for.

The FX 6300 absolutely stomps the i3 in most games nowadays, due to the multithreaded nature of said games. Also, the FX 4150 is an older generation (thus it's slower at same clocks) and has just 4 cores instead of the 6300's 6 cores.
Even 2 years later, the FX 6300 is still the best bang for the buck. Newer games will be even more heavily multithreaded, so the i3 will be left far behind.

Tomb Raider: i3 = 54 fps, FX6300 = 50 fps.
BF4 i3 = 72 fps min, 92 av, FX6300 = 81 fps min, 99 av.
I wouldn't describe that as 'stomping', personally.
