[CLUE-Tech] Adding A Second Processor

[rknech at pcisys.net]

I have two PIII 850MHZ cpu's, when I did a new install of SuSE 7.2 it saw both 
my CPU's and installed the SMP kernal by default. It was sweet. I haven't had 
any problems at all with any of my applications.  Kylix FLIES on it's compiles! 
But, I haven't tested every possible application/utility but so far I have had 
good success.
