AFAIK (ALL: please correct me if I'm wrong ) i7 only has HT where i5 does not. Also in most cases i7's seem to have a higher MHz. HT does not help us much at all. Its more for things like video editing.
--Oh wow I missed page one LOL, so yeah you know that already--
only thing to add to the post above is that D3D11is not really "BETTER" per-say just newer. it has more support for things like shaders and effects for the DX11 cards. So no it does not preform faster, its actually slower in some cases. If you need a performance boost get a faster card or CPU. I find DX9 runs just fine and as mentioned. I use DX11/OGL if 9 fails.
