**** SUMMARY
Enabling hyperthreading on Asus PCDL Deluxe motherboard w/ 2xP4Xeon causes 
system freeze in short order.

**** DESCRIPTION
I have an Asus PCDL Deluxe P4Xeon motherboard which has a north/southbridge 
combination allowing system memory to run at 533MHz . The motherboard has the 
usual Asus onboard gigabit ethernet, AD1985 audio, Intel and Promise SATA 
controllers, firewire. All are enabled and operate. I am running dual 2.8GHz 
P4 Xeons.

When hyperthreading is disabled the system is perfectly stable and usable. No 
operating artefacts seem to occur and SMP appears to workcorrectly.

However when hyperthreading is enabled, the system operates for a brief period 
(enough for KDE to boot, for example) before halting. When operating from the 
command line it is usual to see a Machine Check Exception error immediately 
prior to system failure.
