That's what it even says on the box (new Hyper-thread technology)! I guess Hyper-thread technology isn't "hyper-thread", only its "technology", like it's got some pins and takes power. > .....

I got sold a board that doesn't have the gigibit adapter populated plus, you can't tell from a distance because the connector is present, but has some metal tape covering the hole. This board costs $275 plus the CPU was $635. I got badly raped and the vendor won't take them back. Cheers, Dick Johnson Penguin : Linux version 2.4.20 on an i686 machine (797.90 BogoMips).
