Hyperthreading not available posted: Nov 10, 2008 1:48 PM

We just purchased a new Dell Poweredge 2950 with 2 Xeon Quad core processors. I've checked to make sure the virtualization options are enabled in the bios, however in the infrastructure client configuration it still shows Hyperthreading as N/A. So I'm curious what the requirements are to have hyperthreading active?

I've used the free VM Server for quite some time. This is only the 2nd ESX server I've installed, but from the looks of it both servers (both 2950's) have Hyperthreading marked as Inactive.

Any help is appreciated.
