Yes. But not with your MB. Intel uses a propietary SMP standard. AMD and
Cyrix have implented an open standard called OPENPIC. However there is only
one MB that supports it and it's only being released now.

Maybe. Best to check with the MB manufacturer. There are issues like
voltage, current, clock speed that vary from MB to MB and can affect the
performance with a K6.
