  133. This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
  134. a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
  135. you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
  136. If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
  137. machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
  138. you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
  139. singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
  140. will run faster if you say N here.
  141. Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
  142. "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
  143. architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
  144. architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
  145. People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
  146. Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
  147. Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

  770. a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
  771. a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
  772. give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
  773. coprocessor or this emulation.
  774. If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
  775. say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
  776. be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
  777. command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
  778. is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
  779. loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
  780. boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
  781. intend to use this kernel on different machines.
  782. More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
  783. emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

  789. On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
  790. the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
  791. processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
  792. a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
  793. allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
  794. before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
  795. of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
  796. /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
  797. MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
  798. This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
  799. control registers on other processors can be easily supported
  800. as well:
  801. The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
  802. Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
  803. these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
  804. The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
  805. MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
  806. write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
  807. and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
  808. Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
  809. set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
  810. can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
  811. You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
  812. just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

  1018. If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
  1019. BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
  1020. Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for

  1022. In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
