IMHO I would MUCH rather have a PPRO than a P-II. It's just a much better
chip. It lacks MMX support, but who cares.

No. The PPRO is a Socket-8 chip, the P-II is a SLOT-1. You need a PPRO
specific motherboard.

SMP is currently not available for Warp 4. For SMP with Warp you need Warp
Server Advanced, which uses the WARP-3 kernal.
