The problem of getting windows utility output now is that it's the server
in the datacenter, running 24/7 for many users. That's why I wanted to
find out everything just in Linux.

This server is on Intel mainboard with Intel chassis, but it's not
compatible with Win2k3, that's why they gave it to me for Linux :)
Sometimes it's unstable under Linux too. I feel that the problem is in the
hardware, may be CPU settings, cache etc... I set "acpi=ht pci=routeirq"
to make it work at all. It has newest available BIOS installed.

Here is what Intel say about supported CPUs for this mobo:

SL623 2 GHz N/A N/A 400 MHz 0.13 micron B0 512 KB
Micro-FCPGA 0F24
SL5Z9 2 GHz N/A N/A 400 MHz 0.13 micron B0 512 KB
Micro-FCPGA 0F24
SL6YT 2 GHz N/A N/A 400 MHz 0.13 micron D1 512 KB
Micro-FCPGA 0F29h
SL6JY 2 GHz N/A N/A 400 MHz 0.13 micron C1 512 KB
Micro-FCPGA 0F27h

But none of them has HT! And my configuration - has! It's a puzzle for me.

Yeah. Definitely Intel has some secret tables to identify CPU :)
