Lest anyone think me completely clueless, yes, I'm well aware of that. It's just that I wanted to have that warm fuzzy feeling the comes from pretending I had the cash to buy a dual processor machine when I bought this PC. I had planned too, but my laptop died and I needed a new box in a hurry so I had to get what I could get. It's a decent motherboard though, for being single processor. On the other hand, I did identify that you can't power off with smp enabled unless (as someone helpfully posted) you give this parameter in lilo or grub: apm=power-off While the SMP config option says APM doesn't work if you have SMP enabled (so I should have known), it would be helpful to mention that you can still power off this way.
