Performance is enhanced because Hyper-Threading enables the processor to take better advantage of the execution resources available in each core.
apparently, hyper threading is enabled by default.

hey!
Why are you using windows on the mac? I have the biggest dilemma whether I stick with LE8 on mac or windows.
Also, how many cores do you select for pro tools to use out of the 8? Do you get any buffer errors with that many? I am building an i7 this week hoping to run LE8 without hickups.
