Dual 2.40ghz xeon w/hyperthreading

[jeev]

This is disturbing, what would be causing it to be like this, I have taken
down my 5.0's and I forgot to log the output.

The only thing I've changed, btw it's 4.8-stable, is I've added "options
NMBCLUSTERS=65536" because the servers do major bandwidth. But not right
now, nothing was running on those 2 I tested.

Hmm something is strange here on a semilar system:

CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz (2399.74-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0xf27  Stepping = 7
 
Features=0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA
,C
MOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE>
real memory  = 1073725440 (1023 MB)
avail memory = 1037553664 (989 MB)

I get this:
