Im runnign 5.0-CURRENT on a Gigabyte G6-BXD motherboard with dual pentium 3 450's w/512k cache on each. Total ram in the machine is 320Mb pc133 (all mushkin "cool" series) and it's run without problem. (Yes, SMP is enabled and running). Here's a dmesg clipping: CPU: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (448.80-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x673 Stepping = 3 Features=0x387fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA, CMOV,PAT,PSE36,PN,MMX,FXSR,SSE> real memory = 335478784 (319 MB) avail memory = 318316544 (303 MB) cpu0 (BSP): apic id: 0, version: 0x00040011, at 0xfee00000 cpu1 (AP): apic id: 1, version: 0x00040011, at 0xfee00000 acpi_cpu0: <CPU> port 0x530-0x537 on acpi0 acpi_cpu1: <CPU> port 0x530-0x537 on acpi0 And on another machine (Dual p3 1.3ghz's 1.5Gb pc133 also running -CURRENT with SMP) dmesg clipping: CPU: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (1266.25-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x6b1 Stepping = 1 Features=0x383fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA, CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE> real memory = 1610547200 (1572800K bytes) avail memory = 1561886720 (1525280K bytes) cpu0 (BSP): apic id: 0, version: 0x00040011, at 0xfee00000 cpu1 (AP): apic id: 1, version: 0x00040011, at 0xfee00000 The second machine is running on an Asus motherboard (will get model shortly) and I have yet to run into any problems.
