If I want to add another processor to my system (currently on a single P3), do I need to change any software, or is plugging it in enough to get it supported?
GENERALLY, if you are able to get the processor recognized by the hardware AND (BIG AND) you have an SMP enabled kernel, you'll be in fine shape.
Type "uname -a" and look for "SMP". If it doesn't say it, you need to recompile or RPM your way to a multi-processor enabled kernel. Otherwise you'll probably still boot but you'll only leverage one proc.
