Intel P4 Hyperthreading cannot be considered as true SMP. It's architecture is designed to emulate a second CPU only. LINUX SMP kernels are hardware dependents, meaning you need to actually have two physical CPUs to make use of SMP. With P4, you're better off using the default single processor kernel.Not really. My SMP-enabled kernel worked fine on my P4 2.4C. The kernel detects my logical processor correctly (clock speed, instruction sets, etc) But, I used 2.4 kernels and LILO back then.
