Not always true. I have a non-HT Pentium4, but I still have ht in my 
flags. The same goes for a couple of dual Xeon's I work on at school. 
Aparently Intel disabled the HT on a lot of Pentium 4 and Xeon chips, 
but left the HT flag behind. My system even has the additional IO-APICs 
too. Hence why everytime I boot a UP kernel, I get an 'unexpected 
IO-APIC' message.
