you don't want to use SMP. SMP is symetric multiprocessing and is only usefull on systems with two cpu's or on the pentiums which have hyperthreading technology. it would actually not work on a single-cpu AMD system.

 

AFAIK, you can install on a SATA drive, but there may be a trick to it. I know chin808 has done this, so hopefully he'll stop in and give some input.

I got Mandrake 10OE to install on my AMD64 SATA system. I'm using a KT800 based motherboard. Works like a charm. The installer picked up the hard drive with no problems. Make sure whatever motherboard you're going to use has a linux supported chipset. The first motherboard I used was an sis 755, and was definitely not supported. Anything that uses a VIA chipset or Promise SATA controller should work fine.
