I'm building a Dual Xeon Fileserver
i can enable HTT in the bios (so i have 4 logical processors)

I'm very sceptical that a fileserver would gain any performance from HT.

don't know, just wondering
maybe samba/nfs can use htt/dual cpu ?

In fact, I don't really realize why you even need two CPU's? If you are

i also don't think i really need 2 cpu's
but i bought the second one, because it was just a bit more (compared to
the whole price of the machine)

doing database lookups it's another thing though, also HT could give a
performance gain in that case (if it's supported by the linux kernel?).

it is supported
