It has no HT. Only CPUs with 800 MHz FSB have HT (ok, and the 3.06 GHz P4, which is the only exception, as it has 533 MHz FSB).

Your CPU has a 533 MHz FSB, which means it's the 2.8B, which has no HT.

If you intend to buy a CPU with HT make sure that your board support HT as well, otherwise HT won't work.
