According to the processor spec @ http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL9RZ , it doesn't support Hyper-threading technology, but both 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep ' and 'dmidecode | grep -A 30 Flags' commands show there're "ht" or "HTT (Hyper-threading technology)" available. I think it should be kernel level's problem, is there anyone to explain it please? Thank you. Liang Feng -- In doG We Trust
