Will all P4 support HT?

I have a 2 month old Dell 4550 with a 2.53GHz P4 533fsb.

Bios is A05.  I think I read somewhere the Dell Bios A05 supports HT.  However when looking in the bios, I see nothing where you can enable HT.  So you need a bios that will support HT?   I see where Dell has released bios A06.  Does it support HT?

Next do you need a P4 that is specifically HT enabled or will any P4 be HT enhanced with the proper bios?  I see where you can buy mainstream P4 like the 2.4, 2.66, 2.80 that are HT enabled.  No mention of the 2.53GHz. 

Thanks

HT is only supported with the 3.06 cpu with the Dell computer.No bios update from Dell is available for any other nor will there be in the future.

HyperThreading=P4 3.06ghz w/533mhz front side bus & and any P4 w/800mhz front side bus.

As far as I know the only way to add HyperThreading to your 4550 is to put the 3.06ghz 533mhz fsb chip in it.

thank you for telling the novices like me that
HT is HyperThreading.
