The company I work for recently ported its application to Linux and one of our current HP clients asked this and I figure it would be just a recompile the kernel as a P4, but not sure if this would do it. I'm not asking if Linux can RUN the Xeon processor. I'm asking if Linux processor takes any advantage of the Hyper-Threading built into this processor? below is a link to more info on this. http://www.intel.com/design/xeon/prodbref/ Joe
