Vaio K215S has P4 2,8C yet no HT, why?

[Jabbah]

why have sony decided to use a P4 2.8C which supports hyperthreading, but have decided not to take advantage of it?, HT would give the laptop a fair boost in performance over a no HT CPU.

The processor has that ability, although it may not be enabled. For all I know it is enabled on my processor, although you would think there would be a mention of it somewhere. I have no experience with it, so I'm not sure what the signs are of it being used.

What does it do Exactly TT?

[TygerTyger]

It's for increased perfomance when you need it, basically. How good it actually is I don't know, but I have no options for it on my computer, nor do I have any mention of it.

[Twisted-Rizla]

Aha. Thanks TT

HT or hyperthreading means you can encode a movie from a DV cam while playing games.

It just shares the jobs.
