Just received MLB and CPU from Intel (DB45PEBT2 MLB and 2.53 P4 CPU) that
support hyper technology allowing one CPU to act as multiprocessors allowing

together as soon as I get a worthy case and maybe even a DVD RW. I am going
to dual boot XP and RH8 Server on this.
At work, we bought one of these systems with dual P4 processors with this
hyper technology. My co-worker tried to get RedHat 7.3 to work on this
system and failed. The Linux kernel had trouble detecting the processor
because of the hyper technology. He had to disable this feature to get
the kernel to boot.
I would be interested in finding out if you were able to get linux to boot
with this feature enabled.

Hyperthreading you mean? RH8.0, Mandrake 9.0 or SuSE 8.1 or newer
should be able to handle it just fine.
