I don't see anything about HT in the boot messages.

I didn't change anything in the BIOS regarding the CPU from
whatever the defaults are.  I don't remember seeing any
options for HT (or CPUfreq) in the BIOS and I haven't
changed anything in Linux from the Ubuntu Lucid default distro
regarding either HT or CPUfreq...

If I run cpufreq-selector as root, I get:

No cpufreq support
