With openMosix 2.4 the load balancer should very nicely take care of
multi-core machines. 

You should be fine.

Subject: [openMosix-general] open mosix performance on dual-core
quad-coreintel

I feel this is a relatively simple question but i have so far been unable to
find reliable information concerning this. I currently run a small cluster
of openmosix machines (over 100Mb network, single intel processors). We are
about to add additional machines to the cluster but I am not sure of the
performance benefits of intels dual-core quad-core offerings in regards to
Openmosix. Are there any reason to not go with dual/quad core machines?
Would I most likely have better performance running a bunch of single core
intels? Are there well known problems that may arise? I read on a misc.
message board that disabling SMP is recommended which would render upgrading
to dual/quad core pointless. 
Any information concerning this issue would be appreciated.
