thanks a lot for answers,

in fact here's more informations

ACPI APIC Table: <DELL   PE1750  >
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 4 CPUs
 cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID:  0
 cpu1 (AP): APIC ID:  1
 cpu2 (AP): APIC ID:  6
 cpu3 (AP): APIC ID:  7
ioapic0: Changing APIC ID to 8
ioapic1: Changing APIC ID to 9
ioapic2: Changing APIC ID to 10


which mean HTT is enabled in bios... I'll take a look for that. I've to 
take out all my vpn connections !
