Hi, I've notice something weird in task manager:

My Current Overclock is a 4Ghz OC on a i7 875k with all cores active... I have HT enabled, Speedstep disabled, c1state disabled, full phase power on and so fourth...

The thing I don't understand is this: If I have HT enabled, how come all my virtual cores show as "parked" in the task manager...???
