My answer yesterday was to use the kernel-smp on multiple CPUs and
multicore single CPUs. If you're using either of these you'll need the
kernel-smp. In the case of a single, non multicore CPU, use the
"kernel" kernel.
What hardware are you considering for your web servers? I have many
Dell and IBM servers, all with multi Xeon processors. I'd think for a
web server that has a fair amount of traffic, you'd want at lease two
Dual-Core processors of > 2 Gh, and lots of RAM.

Hi,
I need information on this too. I am current looking in to
"respeccing" our web servers and I don't know much about the
smp/dual-core kernel stuff. I guess i need to
dig through google
