Pentium 4 : is smp kernel mandatory ?

[Bruno Costacurta]

Hi,

I have Pentium 4 and installed both version of kernels (standard and smp) 
under Fedora-4, but do I need the smp version ?

Reason: I use vmware and notice that the re-compile of needed modules don't 
work under smp version (path errors or missing include files) but works fine 
with the standard kernel version. 
So I would like to use (and update via yum) only the standard kernel version 
to simplify use of vmware under new kernels.

Bye,
Bruno
