Run "systat" if it shows two CPUs you have dual core.

Yes ... but, what I'm more curious about is how do I know that the first 
CPU is Dual-Core?  When I boot the machine without an OS, it just reports 
one CPU, but is that to be expected until I get the OS up itself?  Or 
shoudl the POST screens be showing it as two CPUs (4 if I had a second 
Dual Core in it?) ... or, are all Xeon's now Dual-Core, period?

Thanks ...
