All I can say is that testing with the MIT software, the article from Linux Magazine (January 2003 page 8) and Mark Minasi (W2K guru) and Dan York (Linux guru)all show performance levels that justify what Intel (retail site) stated on how that the CPU reacts as a dual processor since the technology uses thinner (diameter) wiring throughout the processor. Mark and Dan just published a book together called "Linux for Windows Administrators" which is a follow up to the "Secret Decoder Ring" book, in which Dan describes how "hypertechnology" is a plus for Unix/Windows systems. They give high performance ratings on a box that uses it versus one that uses dual xeon (2.0 ghz) CPUs. I want to move on to other issues so I will not be responding to anymore emails on this. If you have any further questions, please buy the book or check the Intel Retail site which url I listed previously. If you already tweaked your hdd to work on a previous unit and installed the same hdd on the box which uses this technology, then that may be why you have such poor performance. Do a fresh install of RH or Windows and wipe your hdd clean prior to running the new install and you will definitely see a performance boost. I just know from installing a dual boot (XP and RH8) on a friends box that it works as well as stated.

Hyperthreading simply doesn't make things twice as fast. No disrespect intended.
