SMP support is minimal in 2.0 but it does work, i use 2.0.36 on a SMP
machine. I dont have faith in 2.2 just yet for my main servers.

you prob need 2.2 for that, there is a patch to procps, and you get a SMP
enabled top and ps. you can also try QPS which is SMP aware(requires 2.2
too i believe) as well as KDE's ktop.
if you find a a way to get stats on a 2.0 SMP system let me know id like
to use it too.
