2 CPUs displayed as 4
Hi all, I have SuSe 8.0 running on 2 CPUs server. I'm curious why it is displayed as having 4 CPUs.

umm.. could this machine have 2 P4's with Hyperthreading turned on? If so then that would explain it. :) -- "There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend religious faith."
You have the intel "hyperthreading" hardware... The emulate 4 cpu's in hardware... Therefor Linux sees 4 CPU's Jerry On Tue, 2004-06-01 at 09:35, Stand H wrote:
