http://www.vr-zone.com/Home/news170/HT.htm shows a Slower P4 with Hyperthreading (but it may be an engineering Sample)

http://www.overclockers.com/tips00184/ has some infos/speculations too

Dows anyone knows if you can "unlock" HT on slower P4s? i really doubt it, but it would be really cool.

Yeah I saw an article about this on Tom's Hardware:

Basically it says that hyperthreading is disabled in the silicon for older P4's which means that you won't be able to hack your cpu!
