    Yes, if it is using a SMP kernel. And IMO you don't really need a 64 bit version of Linux

    Juan is correct, however if you are interested in a 64 bit slackware slamd64 is what you are looking for. http://www.slamd64.com/

    Nowadays most distros have SMP-enabled kernels by default, so you shouldn't have to worry about that.
