Can you please post a link to the article / discussion so I can read the
original posting, this seems either not to contain enough information to
make any recommendation or it is taken out of context. It sounds really
weird to me, we are using hyperthreaded machines at lots of places without a
problem, as long as you are using Windows Server 2003 and not Windows 2000
or even worse NT 4.0
