::The guy who gave me the box says he has another one like it, but one is
::hyperthreaded and the other isn't. Here's the beginning of dmesg. Is it
::hyperthreaded, and if so, should I compile a kernel to take advantage of it?

::CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz (2793.02-MHz 686-class CPU)
:: Logical CPUs per core: 2

: Yes. It has 2 real cpus and 2 hyper-threads per real cpu (4 total).

: Definitely worth running a SMP kernel. Even things like the atom
: with one real cpu and 2 hyperthreads is worth running a SMP kernel
: on.

Oops, I've been corrected. That baby has 1 core and 2 hyperthreads.
In anycase, it is worth running a SMP kernel on it.
