As stated earlier by Duncan (in what I thought was a great explanation!); |

"If you are using only a single-core AMD64, you'll want SMP |

off, because altho the kernel will work with it on, it'll be more |

This just means the physical size of the kernel will be larger than it |
| 13 |
needs to be, and consume more memory. It will have no impact on overall |
| 14 |
system performance. |
