What I think I'm gonna do for now is get an SMP board (Tyan Tiger MPX) but only one Athlon MP chip. That way I get the 64-bit PCI slot for my SCSI card, and can use ECC memory (which Crucial has on sale right now... $60 for 256 MB).

So if I decide to drop in a second CPU in the future (in case I get more into development), what would I need to do in order to recompile the kernel for smp, or would it recognize it even after initial installation?
