On a side note. I'm told this P4 has hyperthreading, and I see the ht
flag above. Should I be using the SMP kernel?

Dave Jones:
If the motherboard also supports ht, sure.

Hmm, apparently so (according to the manufacturer bragging), though I
see no options about it in the BIOS. FC5 was installed on this
hardware, and it didn't automatically install a SMP kernel (no idea if
it's supposed to, though). I've installed on, but I can't tell any
difference.

Maybe I am not following this, but FC5 automatically detects if the kernel
installed should be SMP. My student who I converted to Linux had no clue he had
a second processor, but FC5 picked that up. My guess is that he has a dual
core, since he was otherwise blisfully unaware.....
