Althouth The K6 itself supports SMP, there are no motherboards that
support it. 

My understanding of this is as follows:
All K6, Cyrix, etc. support an SMP standard.
Intel chips support a more proprietary SMP architecture.
Motherboard designers don't really see much reason to
support the more "open" of the standards.

Too bad, really. I'd have bought one!
