I think this is confusing; in a sentence about SMP, I expect to hear
how many processors are supported...is that 64 now? I'd thought it was
16, actually (and had wondered which cpu/mboard allows more than 4).

And then, of course, go ahead with the comment about that 64-bit cpu's
are of course supported, too.

Perhaps a very simple change fixes that:

"Already legendary Linux performance is significantly enhanced. High end SMP
support scales well, supporting up to 16 processors, each up to 64-bit."

Or "...up to 16 processors. Both 32-bit and 64-bit processors are supported."

There's also a minor typo: in "Estimates suggest that Linux has up to
20 million users", the word "suggest" is mistyped as "suggets" in draft 6.

The rest of it is great!
