<i>Is it just me, or does this smell of an attempt by Intel to get a service pack for 2Kpro? Personnally, I would like to see the attempt succeed.</i>

I like my conspiracy theory better: this is an attempt to get people to upgrade their win2k systems. After this thread I went and read up on the patch to get HT working in linux, wasn't a tremendous amount of work at all. Why not make it work in 2k?

I would have to think its not so black and white.

i know it show sup as two cpu's u cum guzzler but xp KNOWS its not. just because it shows you two cpu's doesn't mean the o/s is treating it the same as it would if u had two xeon's without h/t. with your dumb logic win2k would work just as well with h/t as xp.
 
it shld, but it doesnt, which made the INQ guys think, that there more to XP than 2K CORE. We need to know what optimizations XP did, to get HT working for itself better than 2k.
