Hyperthreading is a feature of some of the intel chips that allows for improved performance when doing multiple processor inttensive threaded applications. I believe the first chip to have such functionality was the P4B-3.06
So unless you're running a NorthwoodB mobo, you'll have to upgrade the mobo in order to get a HT processor installed as the newer ones dont fit in the older sockets
