Could someone please clarify whether the Prescott cores are the P4's 
that do the multithreading?

We apparently need to buy a new system sometime soon, and it needs to 
have multithreading, that Anne has told me is only available from P4's, 
and there is this Prescott core thing.

Apparently, what Anne has to run, is quite slow on anything other than 
a P4 with multthreading, which is why I want to know about 
multithreading and this Prescott core thing. Apparently,  the 
aplication runs too slow on any other CPU than a P4 with multithreading.

Thanks in anticipation.
