If you are running on two cores, and you see both in /proc/cpuinfo, then
you have SMP enabled.
I can see two cores in /proc/cpuinfo, but I used to see four, since
the processors are both dual core (sorry, I should have mentioned
this).
I'm not sure if I'm only running on one physical processor or one core
from each processor, but I'm definitely only running on two cores, and
I was running on four cores before, and the only change I made was
disabling ACPI.
I have the dmesg output from before (with ACPI) and now (without ACPI)
