what exactly is your question?
well, as long as you don't do video editing or photoshop batches the computer is waiting for you most of the time anyways. so you can concentrate on your budget - not on whether the processor has 3,2 or 3,4 GHz. You won't notice a difference.
And HT is also just cool when you got software that understands to work with that. Again: with Photoshop or Ulead Media Studio Pro it's really an improvement - with Word or Excel you won't notice a difference.
Enough memory (1 gb) and fast disks are far more important.
cheers
