Question about hyperthreading

Does windows 2000 pro support hyperthreading? I have done a lot of looking at the mskb and the only thing I could find was for advanced server [it does support ht]

I was thinking about an intel build, however if win2k does not support ht, then I will probably go amd64.

Thanks

Thanks, I never thought to look on intel's site. I looked at mskb.

There should not be a *problem* leaving it enabled with Win2K - I've installed it on several boxes with no issues. It won't take advantage of it though.
