As I have sadly discovered recently (see dicussion "ALR Revolution Q-SMP"
on 1999/07/15) on X86 there practically only is Intel that is the
standard for SMP.
There is another standard but no X86 motherboard manufacturer supports it.
I had been told that maybe the AMD K6-III might try to emulate the Intel
APIC, but I got the confirmation that AMD has not followed through on
this experiment.
I have found that Gordan Bobic (regular member of the list) to be very
knowledgable on this subject.

Charles.
