My computer specs are:
Asus P6T
Intel Core i7 920 @3.2Ghz
ATI Radeon HD 5970
Corsair 6GB DDR3 @ 1333Mhz
Corsair 850HX PSU
running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium.
My 920 uses hyperthreading, and since I don't have any applications that use more than four cores, it was recommended to me that I disable hyperthreading for a slight performance boost in CPU-intensive games such as ArmA 2 and Bad Company 2.
My question is: can I turn hyperthreading off without having any sort of negative repercussions? I obviously installed Windows with it on, is there any chance of creating problems by turning it off?
Thanks in advance.
