depends on which kernel you run. with 2.4 you may or may not get benefits,
depending on the scenario [although in most of my cases i found that i got
roughly 20-30% performance increase]. with 2.6.x you have smt support in
addition to smp support, which handles HT a bit better than regular smp in
2.4.x

matteo, get yourself a nice smp kernel, also if you can find one with
ACPI well compiled would be better...

tnx for ur suggestion, i usually compile my own kernel, for the
previouse questions i got only 1 cpu.

i'll try out the 2.4 kernel with smp module enabled.

unfortunaly every time i tried to kompile 2.6 (without initrd) all i
can see is a damned panic on mounting reiser partitions .. even i put
the reiser module is added as include, not external module ..

very very sorry for my enGliSh
