Should I enable SMP, HyperThreading (name differs from hypertransport), and NUMA with single processor? I found out what with hypertransport performance will better than without it, but in the help of SMP suggests that if you have single processor its better to disable SMP. Thus disabling SMP there is no option for hyperthreading. Last is hyperthreading same as hypertransport or not? Enabling hyperthreading can i enable hypertransport? Sorry for my poor english :D. -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
