Can be.

Open up the machine? ;) Well, you can guess whether you have two
processors by the type of the processor. Only SM50 or newer SM40
processors support it. If you got anything other, you're out of
luck anyway. If you have an SM40 (like me) it might work. Actually,
I've got no idea whether my CPU would support a biprocessor-
configuration. Maybe there is a way to find out through
/proc/openprom/TI,TMS390Z55...
Oh, and do a "cat /proc/openprom/banner-name", in my case it says:
'SPARCstation 10 (1 X 390Z55)'
I guess this would tell me if I had two processors.
Cheers
