I saw a post above relating to Netware 5.0 and dual core processors. I am
ordering an IBM X3400 server and the supplier, a Novell Gold Partner, gave
me this information.

"4. In the end this is a dual core server (upgradeable to two processors) at
1.6GHz which will perform at the same performance as the x346 with 3.4GHz
processor. Dual core makes the difference. All other specs are the same."

Does the recommendation to turn off hyperthreading in the BIOS from the post
above apply to Novell 5.1 as well as Novell 5.0? If so, a dual core
processor is of no use to me, right? Am I correct in assuming that all I
will be getting is a processor running at the equivalent of 1.6GHz. It was
mentioned above that "It would be possible, but you don't want to do that --
disable
hyperthreading at the BIOS level." Barry, if you are monitoring this thread
could you please elaborate a little.

This whole upgrade thing is starting to drive me crazy. Nothing is simple
it seems.

Thanks for your help.
