Yes, it will. We've been running on such systems since shortly
after the last release (1995). However, Intel-based SMP systems
are notoriously fickle in conforming to the Multiprocessor Specification
and often some head-scratching is required when things don't just
work.
The system has been run on machines ranging from dual Pentium 90's
up to quad Xeon 400's and the 8 processor Pentium Pro Axil system.
Unfortunately we've not been able to test the new release on all those
systems so some glitches may have re-appeared. By default, as it comes
out the box, the release has SMP operation disabled by an option in
the plan9.ini config file.
