I just got a 1u rack mount dual Xeon system from these guys:

I was looking at top and noticed that it lists 4 CPU states, where I'd
generally figure there'd be one per CPU. Any ideas why this would be? I
opened it up to be sure, and yep, there's only 2 CPUs.
Thanks,

Any chance it could have something to do with the Xeon's
"Hyperthreading" technology? I think I read something somewhere
(helpful, I know) that mentioned that the Linux kernel can treat the P4s
with hyperthreading as virtual dual processors.
I haven't gotten a chance to play with these processors yet, so I can't
tell you for sure.
