This sounds alot like the equipment as I've just got all 4 cpus
running on.

HP Netserver 5/133 LS4 (Intel XXPRESS motherboard)
4 * 133MHZ Pentium
128Mb ram
2 Adaptec aic7870 controllers

It's not state of the art SMP yet, but things are moving fast, 
so fast that it's almost hard to keep up with those doing the 
development :)

Have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/SMP.html for more
information on how to get started with FreeBSD SMP.
