I found in the intel web site that the Hyper-Threading has this
requirements:
Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system with an
Intel Pentium 4 processor at 3.06 GHz or higher, a chipset and BIOS
that utilize this technology, and an operating system that includes
optimizations for this technology.
By the way, what is PAE?

4.7 knows about hyper-threading, insofar as the kernel config
file
admits an 'HTT' option. As to whether it's better or not to have
it, I
can't really say. 2.4GHz is so ridiculously fast (kernel
compiles in
less than two minutes, postfix in less than a minute)... I
suspect it
will be difficult to detect the difference between with/without
in
everyday use.
I'm building a new mail relay, and it turns out the machine was
specified as RAID-5. I suspect that that is going to have a much
more
adverse impact on performance than HTT or not.
As to "responding to today's multitasking lifestyle", I sooner
see PAE
implemented in the kernel, to unlock the memory I have above
4Gb.
