I have an Open Server. Can I enable SMT in the BIOS and use it?
Yes, and after enabling the feature in the BIOS you must also enable Hyper-Threading via cpconfig.
I believe it´s C the right one:
SMT is supported only on Security Gateways running Gaia OS with 64-bit kernel.
SMT is supported on the following releases:
On Check Point Appliances, SMT is supported by R77 release and later.
On Open Servers, SMT is supported by R80.40 Jumbo HF #45 and later, and the CPU must also support SMT.
