Default hyperthreading on an E7400?
is it possible to use hyperthreading on an E7400? on my school server I am using VMware with between 6 and 10 Vms, and it is slow as all hell to work on. does anyone know if hyperthreading is possible or automatically turned on on the E7400?

Doesn't exist on Any Core 2. Only i7s have that or very old Pentium 4s.

crap, I think it is getting bogged down by the tiny things that an OS is always doing. you don't notice it with one OS running, but when you are running 7-11 it gets very noticeable.

Most people don't benefit enough from HT, that's why Intel dropped it from their microarchitecture to increase energy efficiency (e.g. Core 2).

That's not why it wasn't included in Core 2. And HT was actually very useful with P4s for multitasking purposes.

I might be wrong, but wasn't it rumored that Core 2 have Hyper-threading built in? It's just that it can never be enabled?

No, HT is not and never was a part of the Core microarchitecture.

All Clarkdale CPUs will have HT IIRC.
