The processor in my sig when listed by PC wizard 2010 states that it has hyper threading capabilities--but that it is disabled--any ideas on how to re-enable this or if it's something that will be available later from AMD?-still working on uploading a pic of PC wizard that states this.
 
Hyper-trheading is an intel technology. I do believe that AMD has created something similar for the Phenom II X6 processors, but i'm not certain.
 
What you saw is hyper transport which is something completely different. AMD wont get anything like hyper threading until bulldozer next year.
 
I think I'm old enough to know the difference in spelling between hyper transport and hyper threading-look at the bottom of the list.

AMD processors do not have hyperthreading, plain and simple. Hyperthreading is an intel(and trademarked) technology, and even if amd had something similar, it would be under a different name(multithreading is supposed to be out with bulldozer apparently).
