Usually the P4's are, so use the smp kernel and it will show 2 cpus as
running, both in dmesg and e.g. in gkrellm. But to be sure look up the exact
type at www.intel.com. But they're not very clear whether or not ht is
enabled / whether or not they are 64-bit enabled: you have to look real
hard.

BTW, it's not a stupid question ;)
