Why isnt it possible to enable HT on a non-HT northwood?

[perz]

I know this is a stupid question, but i pose it to myself often.

HT is on the silicon for all northwoods as I understand.
Did intel laser-cut the core so it is totally impossible to enable the HT?

It is irritating to know that its on the core, the bios is ready but I will never be able to use it.

Is there relly no way to make it work? (dreaming away...)



I have a northwood 2.8 B , 533 MHz FSB (non-HT of course.) Runs really fine and I can run every game and app i want so i'm not complaning, but a little multiprocessing would be really nice...

I heard HT was in the Wilamettes aswell and that "only engineers" can enable it, knowing intel it would be permanently disabled so give up...

*dreams of celeron with HT crushed*

The circuits were disabled in the hardware level, so you can't change it.
