Hi;

I installed FreeBSD-AMD64 on my New Dell Dimension 9150. This processor in
particular (820) has two cores but no hyperthreading:

The dmesg (attached) is somewhat confusing though: 
- It looks like hyperthreading is *detected* ??? 
- CPU #1 is "launched", so I guess CPU #0 was already running right?
- The coredumps at the end were caused by atlas-devel trying to find out the
processor I am using, looks like it only found one so it defaulted to no
threads.. I think it builds another (threaded) version afterwards so I'm not
sure what is really happening.

It's really cool to see both amd64 and smp working together... thanks for the
good work!

cheers,

    Pedro.
