(really, it won't report it otherwise) This CPU is a nearly 5 year old mobile Pentium4 (1.9GHz). I know that PAE Xen kernels won't work on here whereas the non-PAE ones do. Also, I didn't think any of the Pentium 4's suppored PAE until sometime in the last year or two. > And it supports HT reporting (that is what "ht" means, it supports > reporting the number of siblings via cpuid, it's a very common > misperception of people to think it means your cpu has 2 hyperthreading > threads) OK.
