Hyperthreading for development ?

Well, it's time again to upgrade my desktop workstation. I read somewhere that we should, if we could, develop on hyper threading processors. Something about simulating dual processor runtime environments. Any truth in that ? I’m developing .net systems that run on anything from dual PII to dual Xeons

I've got one of the new pentium 4's with hyper threading and while I can't prove it, it feels much more responsive than my other non-HT processor. Working in the IDE and with the other apps open, the hyperthreading helps just like dual xeons would (of course, they aren't as fast, but it's not like I can type fast enough for that to be even an issue).

I'd highly recommend going with the new P4 with hyper threading and the 800Mhz bus. And all the ram you can throw at it of course.
