No, it's a little Dell PowerEdge 400SC - just a single processor P4, with Hyperthreading disabled in the BIOS, so 5.2.1 just sees one processor. It doesn't panic for me, it's a flat-out hang with a completely black screen (it stops responding to the network too, so I'm pretty sure it's not just that I can't see what's going on). Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, Ctrl-Alt-Delete, hitting the power switch do nothing. I end up just pulling the power cord and then letting it reboot and go through a fsck. Barry
