I'm using one of these boards for about 3 years with SMP.
I'm running current with a kernel from sources current as of 1/2 hour ago
no problem.
The cpu's I'm using are the PentiumPro Overdrive processors that intel put out.
I've been using these the last 6 months, before that I was using 200mhz ones.
