You seem to be interested in SMP, so I will post this warning, CPUs other than the Intel don't use Intel's IOAPIC design. Both the FreeBSD software, and all available support chipsets in multiprocessor boards like the Titan Pro, only support the Intel IOAPIC. If you get the K6, then give up the notion of 2 processors.
