Via Pentium 4 chipset "works with hyperthreading" claim

Two processors detected... oh oh

FRENCH SITE Impact-Hardware claims today it has made the Via P4X400 chipset work with hyperthreading - truly a turn up for the book.

The site reports that a bit of BIOS tweaking meant it had managed to detect two processors using a Via motherboard in a Shuttle machine.

The actuality, he claims, is that two processors can be detected using non-Intel motherboards.

The original article is ici, although the Babelfish translation introduces some French words we never detected just before we left school under a cloud.

There's a screen shot, aussi. What can it all mean? Perhaps hyperthreading is not as esoterique as everyone thought... We await verification from Intel. µ

Do you think the move was justified?
