It all depends on which particular P4 model that you have. Someone kindly pointed this out to me today on a different CPU matter: http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/body_view_p4.htm Not all the P4s support hyperthreading. Mine doesn't. Does anyone know if hyperthreading can be disabled on FC5-x86_64 ? This is entering a totally new area for me.
