Hello, again, I think I've figured out the problem with my elusive Hyper-Threading. Apparently I was confused by two things: 1) The text "Supporting Hyper-Threading Technology" on the CPU box 2) The "ht" feature in the processor information (hwinfo & /proc/cpuinfo) (1) can be understood as being a generic box used by all Pentium 4 processors. (2) is still a mystery to me. According to the table at http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/prodbref/, this processor does _not_ incorporate Hyper-Threading. If anyone can help me understand why the "ht" feature is shown in the processor flags, I'd appreciate it. Is anybody else willing to admit being fooled^Wconfused by the P4 packaging?

Hi,
Following a recent hardware failure, I got a new CPU and motherboard.
The motherboard is an Intel D865PERL running the latest (P19) BIOS.
The CPU is:
- P4 - 2.40A GHz - mPGA478 package - 533 MHz FSB - 1 MB L2 Cache
Hwinfo tells me this:
% hwinfo --cpu 01: None 00.0: 10103 CPU [Created at cpu.290] Unique ID: rdCR.j8NaKXDZtZ6 Hardware Class: cpu Arch: Intel Vendor: "GenuineIntel" Model: 15.3.3 "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz" Features: fpu, vme, de, pse, tsc, msr, pae, mce, cx8, apic, sep, mtrr, pge, mca, cmov, pat, pse36, clflush, dts, acpi, mmx, fxsr, sse, sse2, ss, ht, tm, pbe, pni, monitor, ds_cpl, cid Clock: 2394 MHz Cache: 1024 kb Units/Processor: 1 Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown
