Nope, HT is entirely CPU, and turn off and onable via the BIOS.
I have another dual xeon box here, but it has to run win2k for some specialist 
software. A test run took 1 hour 47 minutes with HT, 1 hour 33 without.
Whenever I'm in the datacentre I can hear the Suse webserver, and it's new 
sibling laughing at the traffic. Traffic which 2 Raq3's coped with nicely.
