Thanks for the answers, looks like it would be best to use a SMP kernel with HT in bios, since I'm running multiple servers on the machine, now time for some testing.

So if you run a single threaded process it can show you only 50% CPU usuage (=100% of one CPU!) If you benchmark a single threaded process you will see that it got almost the same speed with or without HT activated (amlost - because smp got a litle bit overhead). If you benchmark 2 single threaded processes at the same time you should see a bit advantage with HT activated (not the double because HT CPU is not a full dual core!)
So let me make sure i get this 100% :) If I'm running eg a single threaded process, like a cs:s server and the top command shows it's using 14% at the process. eg.: 14255 hlserver 15 0 165m 64m 12m S 14.7 3.2 8:57.10 srcds_i686 - where 14,7% is the cpu usage, it's actaully only using 7% of the CPU, because thats what I'm seeing Any suggestions to a benchmark "program" btw., other then running bots in cs:s :) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
