While this is all true, I think that SMP falls also pretty squarely into the new feature category and, as such, could easily get away with saying that old feature or system xxx is incompatible with new feature yyy and yyy simply isn't going to support it. Now if you were talking about taking out all EISA support in the uniprocessor version, well, that'd be something different. ;) JOrdan
