I'm ass-u-me-ing it is a single-core Itanium2 9000 series (aka Montecito). Click on "Options and Accessories" on the page to which http://www.hp.com/go/rx2660 takes you. Hyperthreading should be disabled by default. To check or reset it one can use the cpuconfig command from EFI. rick jones > o Normally it takes a while after "acpi0: <HP> on motherboard" > before there's more output.
