postgresql and smp linux kernel

Dear all

i have a dedicated server mainly running postgresql,
currently rh-posgtresql-7.3.6.7 (and samba, ypbind
etc). The server is a dual processor machine and the
OS is RHEL AS 3.

I am currently running kernel-smp-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL.

My question is: do i need to run smp kernel for
postgresql? What is benefit of it? If I run UP kernel,
what do I lose from the point view of PG?

Thanks
