I have a P4 3.0 800fsb. My main apps are Photoshop CS and Office XP. Do any of these take advantage of hyper threading? Does anyone have a list of software that currently utilizes HT technology?

Intel offers some comparisons of Office with and without HT enabled as one example. I do not recall Photoshop specificly, but Adobe is often used in some examples by Intel. See:
