I dont want to contradict! the german wikipedia writes (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Athlon_64_X2): "Der Athlon 64 X2 gibt sich als Hyper-Threading-fähig aus und kann dadurch von diversen Optimierungen profitieren,..." "The Athlon 64 X2 masquerade as hyperthreading capable to benfit from hyperthreading optimizations." I didnt recheck this information with AMD official papers. Now I did and I could not found anything about ... I wrote the author of this sentence to get his source of information. greets Matthias -- [email protected] mailing list
