Yes, detecting HT correctly is not an easy thing because I do not
JUST want  to know if the processor is capable of HT but what matters
most is is they are activated (via the BIOS).

I do not have a Pentium D at hands that I can test things on. Obviously
there is something wrong with detection but I think there may be more than
this. I will try you program on my Pentium 4.
