HyperThreading is certainly supported.  Do you have an SMP kernel
installed?  Perhaps your dmesg output would be helpful.

Thanks,

Isn't it enabled by default?! I thought it is. Anyway,  Here is the dmseg output. Please enlighten me and let me know how I can enable SMP as it seems it is not enabled from the dmesg.
