Hyper Threaded Pentium 4

[Robert L. Cochran]

I think a 3.0 Ghz Pentium 4 will be coming out later this year which will feature Hyper Threading. The definition of Hyper Threading that I've read in Maximum PC, November 2002, p.14 is:

"...The technology helps a compatible OS utilize CPU resources more effectively by splitting the chip into two virtual processors running in parrallel. The two virtual CPUs can then execute separate instruction threads simultaneously."

Can Red Hat Linux utilize this feature?

Thanks
