Ted, <So, the HyperTreading is limited to servers or network pcs; it won't work with desktops?>

It'll work w/ desktops, but almost no desktop application will benefit; in fact, their performance might suffer (though in theory it shouldn't).

The optimal benefit comes from server apps, followed by workstation apps. That's why HyperThreading will only be enabled on Foster MP (i.e. 4-way enabled and 1M L3) and Prestonia.
