I don't see why guys are arguing here about Hyper Threading, the Core i7 architecture is pretty wide and most programs will take advantage of the benefits of Hyper Threading, may be some older single threaded programs may have some issues but that's not something that will be very noticeable anyway. A Nehalem/Clarkdale processor without it will be less impressive, specially if someone is coming from a Core 2 Quad processor. The only negative thing that Hyper Threading brings is increased power consumption and heat dissipation.

If you had full manual control over the Turbo mode, then it would be very interesting to see what kind of overclcoks you can get on it while still maintaining stability and preventing overheating. If it is something that is just going to automatically disable the minute you touch any OC settings, then it doesn't seem that useful to people here.

It still works. If you set your Turbo to be +1 over the max frequency, it'll Turbo +1 speed grade over whatever clock you got. Which is why I read one reason people disable it as they think they are stressing the core already, imagine when Turbo activates to kick in extra +1 speed grade.

I don't know how you talk about such "technical" stuff when you seem to have zero clue about how i7 works.
