-config SMP
- bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
- ---help---
- This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
- a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
- you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
-
- If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
- machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
- you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
- singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
- will run faster if you say N here.
-
- Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
- "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
- architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
- architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
-
- People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
- Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
- Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

- If you don't know what to do here, say N.
