intel's hyperthreading test utility says bios error?

Question

After running Intel's hyperthreading test utility my results came up as, processor test: passed, chipset test: passed, bios: ADVISORY! The Hyper-Threading Technology Test Utility was unable to identify if all the required components are present, turned on or functional in this system. In device manager my processor (an Intel pentium 4 3.00Ghz) as 2 cpu's, and in bios at startup, hyperthreading is enabled. I have most recent bios update for my dimension 5100 also. What is wrong? Am I hyperthreading with errors? How do u correct?

I believe it is much ado about nothing.   Most likely Intel's test app doesn't like something in the Dell BIOS, no biggie.   'If it ain't broke, don't fix it!'  Unless you are having functional issues with the system, I would not be concerned about failing that test.
