Regarding the Intel Pentium 4 Processor, I was wondering the one on 
Pricewatch, even though it's a 533mhz fsb, will it support Hyper 
Threading?, How much of a difference for a person that's slowly getting 
into gaming, would I see a diffrence from a 3.06ghz no hyper threading 
to a 3.06ghz with hyper threading?.  Because I'm Currently running a Amd 
Athlon Xp2200+ (1.8ghz) (Not a good Idea for the newer games...)
