re-enabling hyperthreading

Way back when I was running FC3, I used the BIOS
to disable hyperthreading in my Pentium 4.
It stopped system crashes that,
IIRC, I was told had something to do with my LCD monitor.
I never understood the problem or the solution.

I recently installed FC8.
At the time, hyperthreading was turned off.
Assuming that the previous problems are fixed,
is it safe to re-enable hyperthreading on a
system that was installed with it turned off?
