Very much so. Typically, as you install it, it will
automatically detect the multi-processor setup. However, if
you install it BEFORE having both processors, you will have
to manually install the SMP kernel afterwards.

You may have to choose a fairly "safe" set of refresh rates
and experiment until you find the right settings. Other
than that, you're on your own. The system I have is a
"generic" 17" monitor that I swapped for a "generic" 15"
monitor....no X changes required. Probably because I chose
some "generic" settings.
