no. On my P4 2Ghz box: [12:32 AM]wwong ~ $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 2 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz stepping : 4 cpu MHz : 1999.972 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm bogomips : 3948.54 Note the ht flag, while the CPU is actually not capable of HyperThreading. 2.4Ghz is AFAIK the minimal speed Pentium 4 that Intel made with HT. Try checking your specs against http://www.intel.com/products/ht/hyperthreading_more.htm Maybe you don't have a HT capable chip afterall.
