    In "The Wonderful World of Linux 2.6" by Joseph Pranevich, I read the
    following about hyperthreading:

    "Of course, a single processor that pretends to be two is still a single
    processor and performance won't really improve much."

    This is what I've though, but I've never been able to see for myself, as
    the P4 systems with hyperthreading that have crossed my path, were all
    built on faster motherboards/ with faster RAM, ect. than the ones
    without it.

    Am I more or less correct, or am I missing something?

    Purely out of interest
    Thanks
    Hans
