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

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

- Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
- name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
- inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
- (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
- newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

- The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
- developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
- The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
- bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
- the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
- 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
- Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
- Otherwise, say N.

- MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and

- <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
