Hi!

Are there Dual core CPUs with HT? I have 1 machine with Nocona chip, here
its just HT. Are Irwindales Dual Core with HT?

As for the not configured devices, its not yet fully supported. My
experience here, the machines (servers) ran ok so long as its not a device
you will badly need. Like a NIC or disk controller even. But your milage
may vary. :)

HTH,
