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.

So OS X is just going to be a snail on x86 or Darwin x86 will start to be about performance (peripheral support is another story)?


It's amazing how 4 days can make a difference...
