Hello, I would like to know if hyperthreaded x86 computers need kernel SMP option activated in order to use that feature. Furthermore, in the above-mentioned case, I need to know if FC3 is provided with a default SMP kernel because I have to install the distribution on a hyperthreaded P4 box and only after a while I will have time for kernel recompiling. My last question is about the hyperthreading itself: Do we really get improvements by turning on that feature? The kernel has been written with supported multiple CPU operations, so I think it would benefit from hyper., but what about KDE, konqueror, kdevelop, qtdesigner and gcc (these are my most used applications) ? I thank you all in advance for each reply. Fabio
