8.0 uses 2.4.18 with many more additional patches.  I checked through my 
mail archives and there was some discussion in both Red Hat 7.3 and 8.0 
about hyperthreading, and the consensus was that it should be working in 
7.3.  If it didn't work in some case, then it should be reported as a 
bug.  Please let me know if you find a case where it doesn't work 
properly and I will report it through the proper channels.

(8.0.92 beta uses a heavily patched 2.4.20 kernel.)
