- <p>
- Everything that is a clone of the 486 or up should work fine.
  <h4>SMP support</h4>
- Starting with OpenBSD 3.6, OpenBSD/i386 supports most SMP
+ OpenBSD/i386 supports most SMP (Symmetrical MultiProcessor) systems,
- (Symmetrical MultiProcessor) systems.
+ including multi-chip, multi-core and/or hyperthreading designs.
  To support SMP operation, a separate SMP kernel (<tt>bsd.mp</tt>) is
  included with the installation file sets.
