Hyperthreading in P4 Xeon (question)

[Steven Timm]

I have one such test machine that we are evaluating at the moment.
It's a dual cpu machine but under Linux it shows up looking like it
has four cpu's.  Haven't actually tried yet to see if it really can
run four loads just as well... the specimen we have has DDR SDRAM
and already gets bogged down going with two processes at once.
