very wrong, smp even back when it was added in 1.3.something could
handle more than two AFAIR, it was just very inefficient then. it is now
a lot more efficient and scales a lot better. Dave Miller was using it
on a 14 cpu ultra sparc pre 2.2.0 release, as for ppc, it works on 4 way
ppc, I have no idea how it will work on your specific hardware though.
See You
