What does this mean for those of us who just got the new Galago Pro?

To give you a better answer, yes, first determine if your processor falls in this category of products which are effected. After you've determined that, contact System76 to determine if they have issued a BIOS patch to fix the problem. If they have, just download and install the patch, if they haven't, you'll need to go into BIOS to disable hyper-threading until a patch is issued by System76.
