Dualman,

In Task Manager, under the Performance tab, click View and select CPU
history and see if One Graph Per CPU is checked. It sounds like it might not
be, which is why you only see the one graph although it is for both CPUs
combined.

In the device manager, find the Computer device. Check its properties. It probably says UniProc ACPI. You need to upgrade its drivers to MultiProc ACPI. You can do that using the Driver TAB and selecting the appropriate upgrade. This updates the HAL which requires a reboot. You should be alright after that.

I can't remember the Microsoft KB for it, but search the Knowledge Base for "dual CPU". The instructions there are good.
