from microsoft why it isn't good to run ht with 2k.It supports it but its a
licensing problem built in with 2k.)

Not true as far as I know it isn't hyperthread "aware" but that doesn't
stop u using it. The difference is that the scheduler it will treat the
logical
CPU's as real CPU's and as we all know this isn't the case.
The result is that it "may" not extract as good as performance as
a hyperthread aware OS like Windows XP or 2003 server.
The fact remains though that 2003 is still a "server" OS and as such
is priced accordingly making it useless for running legal game servers.
