Daft question:
if you had a CPU with HT enabled doing a cat /proc/cpuinfo showed 2 CPU's.
I've just installed OS10.2 on a dual-core Athlon 64 system but I'm only showing 2 CPU's instead of 4.
I've not used these CPU's before so want to check that the 2.6.18.xxx kernel still shows HT as a separate processor before I suspect the hardware.
In addition to what Alexey stated, you should know that your dual-core processor will run circles around the fastest HyperThreaded CPU Intel ever made. HT was better than a non-HT single-core CPU, but it was just a footnote on the way to highly parallel systems (a path along which we're still much closer to the beginning than the end, by the way).
