Hey,

I just installed 4.6-RELEASE on a dual 1.8Mhz Xeon + Tyan S2720
motherboard (a Relion 140 server from Penguin Computing, actually).
When I reboot with an SMP kernel, I see:

CPU: Pentium 4 (2199.76-Mhz 686-class CPU)
CPU: Pentium 4 (2199.76-Mhz 686-class CPU)
CPU: Pentium 4 (2199.76-Mhz 686-class CPU)
CPU: Pentium 4 (2199.76-Mhz 686-class CPU)
SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!
SMP: AP CPU #2 Launched!
SMP: AP CPU #3 Launched!

That's twice as many CPUs as I think I have, each going 400Mhz faster.  Is
this safe?  Correct?  Is it that hyperthreading stuff?  Should I disable
it?

Thanks

- JD
