That's probably not a very good assumption, since there are no guarantees of hardware compatibility between Darwin versions, and lots of hardware gets unsupported or newly-supported in each release.

The larger question is probably "why are you asking about SMP support on Darwin x86". If you are expecting high or even reasonable performance (compared to Linux or FreeBSD), you're probably not installing Darwin for the right reasons. Darwin x86 is not about performance or peripheral support.

Hello!

I just wonder if Darwin for x86 supports SMP configurations.
Can't find the answer on this question in WWW.


A quick Google search seems to indicate that Darwin 7.0.1 supported SMP so I would assume that is still true in Darwin 8.

You may want to ask that question on the darwin-x86 list to be sure one way or the other.
