Multiprocessor systems & qnx

Hi!
I want to buy multiprocessor PC - e.g. 4 processors Pentium III 1GHz.
Does qnx 4.25 support multiprocessing?
How does it work?
Should I write optymized for multiprocessor code in PhAB!
Or maybe will it incrase speed with my old applications?

No, QNX4 does not support SMP. You will need to move to QNX6 to get such
features.

To some degree the whole system benifits from having multiple procesors.
However, for your application to directly benifit it will need to start
using threads or multiple-processes so that work can be executed in parallel.
