From what I've read in other reviews of the new P4 3.0ghz, no one has conclusivly said that the Northwood B's from the 2.5, 2.4 and 2.23ghz vintage support Hyperthreading.

Oh yeah, I don't think it will ever work on my cpu. But if it doesn't work with the 3 ghz P4 I am planning on buying sometime down the road then this mobo is gone!

They support it but Intel apparently did a laser etch at the fab that cut it. You'll have to get a 3ghz chip if you absolutely have to have HT right now. It's a waste of time at the moment and probably won't get you more than 5% performance increase with current games...
