Pete, as usual, you have to type an entire essay just to squirm your way out of all the links I provided. And it only took me a few minutes to do a search on Google.

Just to throw you on another loop, here are more links on Google referring to the "glueless" Xeon:

Support for glueless 4-way SMP operation and scalability to 8-way and above multiprocessor configurations with clustering technologies.

While the Pentium III has 256KB L2 and can support 2-way multiprocessing, the Pentium III Xeon supports up to 2MB of L2 cache (all on die), and up to 4-way glueless multiprocessing. By glueless, I mean on a single bus. One of Intel's chipsts called the ProFusion supports up to 8 processors, but that is through additional "glue" logic.

Step back in time to Nov. 1 1995 and the debut of the Pentium Pro. This chip is the direct ancestor of the Pentium M, and if you read the spec sheets, you will see it could do glueless multiprocessing up to four CPUs.
