How to enable hyper-threading?

[GoldenI]

So I just put the finishing touches on my gaming PC and installed Windows 7. Now... I just need to know how to enable hyper threading on my PC??? I have Windows 7 and an Intel Core i5 650 3.2GHz processor. Also, could you folks be so kind as to telling me what the pros/cons of HT are?

i5 does have hyperthreading.

Hyper Threading should be enabled already. To make sure of this, please open task manager and click on the Performance tab. Make sure you see 4 seperate CPU core windows. That would be 2 for your physical cores, and the other 2 are the virtual threads created by HT.

Okay -- thank you for the help folks.
