Hyperthread 32/64bits

Hey Forum.

I have a server Dell GX620 with a Pentium4 with Hyperthread.
What is the best to run on that server??
Can it at all run 64bits or is it just a extra option??
Not quite sure how and what hyperthread can do on a server - is there any more performance to get, do you have more power.
The hyperthread is enabled

Since I'm thinking about using this for Mythbackend server - This is quite important if it gives me any more performance or anything else.
How can I make the best result with this hyperthread CPU???

Thanks
