[Asterisk-Users] Best CPU config for dual-Xeon?

[Tony Mountifield]

I have some beefy dual-Xeon servers that I will be using for Asterisk
VoIP applications (i.e. no Zaptel cards). Using 2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp
as the kernel (Fedora Core 3), and currently with Asterisk STABLE.

My question is concerning the CPU setup, as I've seen conflicting or
out-of-date suggestions: given the above config, should I have
hyper-threading turned on or off? Turned on appears like 4 CPUs,
and turned off will, I assume, appear as 2 CPUs.

It's not clear to me what the issues with HT are/were, and whether
they only relate to the use of hardware, interrupts, etc. or what,
so any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Tony
