three things to look at:

does the bios announce that it sees 2?
the beginning of dmesg from boot up: reams of stuff about each one
the output of top or ps:

    3 root      19  19     0    0     0 SWN   0.0  0.0   0:00 ksoftirqd_CPU0
    4 root      19  19     0    0     0 SWN   0.0  0.0   0:00 ksoftirqd_CPU1
    5 root      18  19     0    0     0 SWN   0.0  0.0   0:00 ksoftirqd_CPU2
    6 root      18  19     0    0     0 SWN   0.0  0.0   0:00 ksoftirqd_CPU3

good luck
