I have Pentium D CPU, which many Windows utilities like cpuz, wcpuid, everest identify as D 930 (Dual Core, 3GHz). From Intel site I find out that it has no HT feature, nor Windows XP identify it as HT.

Why do I have "ht" flag in cpuinfo?
-----------------------------------

The "ht" flag merely means "I know how to report hyperthreaded logical processors if I have them." My Woodcrest Xeon 5110 and my Athlon64 X2 both have the "ht" flag, and correctly report the zero hyperthreaded logical processors they each have.
