Hope it is OK to post comments here?  I don't have Wiki access at the 
moment.

On the page:
    http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/ArchSpecific/x86_64

there is a note that reads:
    " The default kernel in x86_64 architecture provides SMP (Symmetric 
Multi-Processor)
    capabilities to handle multiple CPUs efficiently. This architecture 
does not have a separate
    SMP kernel unlike x86 and PPC systems."

I don't think this note is accurate anymore as other kernels, or at 
least the i686 kernels, are also all SMP.



While I'm here,  this page might be a  good place for trade-offs and 
instructions for a single-arch x86_64 installation
without all the i686 rpms for multi-arch support.  (OpenOffice is 
available, flash and google-maps are not.)
