::The guy who gave me the box says he has another one like it, but one is ::hyperthreaded and the other isn't. Here's the beginning of dmesg. Is it ::hyperthreaded, and if so, should I compile a kernel to take advantage of it? :: ::CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz (2793.02-MHz 686-class CPU) :: Logical CPUs per core: 2 : : Yes. It has 2 real cpus and 2 hyper-threads per real cpu (4 total). : : Definitely worth running a SMP kernel. Even things like the atom : with one real cpu and 2 hyperthreads is worth running a SMP kernel : on. :
Oops, I've been corrected. That baby has 1 core and 2 hyperthreads. In anycase, it is worth running a SMP kernel on it. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dil...@backplane.com>
