Ok, here's the thing. Usually these graphs show your processor cores as well as an extra one extra for each hyperthread. For example my desktop with the new i7 shows 8 graphs because it has 4 hyperthreaded cores. My laptop on the other hand has a hyperthreaded core 2 duo P8700. The history graph only shows 2 graphs instead of 4. Anyone know why? Hyperthreading is active, just checked BIOS. It's an Asus G71gx. Any clue would be nice. Thanks in advance.
 
I wouldn't know how to do that in anything other than BIOS and just checked that. So I'd say I doubt it.
 
That's because the P8700 does not have HT.

Also, just to be clear, the P8700 is Core 2 based, and HT was dropped from all Core 2 chips, and is not supported by the Core 2 microarchitecture. the only current chips that have HT are the Atom and Nehalem lines.
