It is very interesting. I have a P4 HT 3.2. When I first loaded Linux
10.0 a year or so ago and did my first online update. Those were
uncomplicated days when we just had a Suse Watcher no ZEN rubbish or
OpenSuse Updater that appears when it want to - (sorry for the dig)
anyway update download Kernel support for multiprocessors and my
assumption is that even though HT
is logical the Kernel addresses the single processor as 2.

MS-Windows does the same. I can change the affinity for a very hungry
application that does not deserve all the attention to 1 (logical)
processor without issue.
