best way to ensure WHS is seeing/using both cores of my C2D

I just upgraded the celeron proc that came with my intel ss4200 (which I have installed WHS on). I popped in a E4600 C2D, and I was wondering how I can make sure both cores are being used.

The proc is correctly identified in system info, but when I go to task manager I only see one proc in the CPU usage section.

thanks!
 
This is in Vista, but if WHS is similar, goto View-CPU History-check one graph per CPU.

Edit:
This is in Task Manager
 
I read some of the posts in the thread you posted in on http://wegotserved.com.

Generally, I thought that XP/2003 would recognize a multi-processor even though the original install was with a single processor. At least one poster said that the second CPU showed up for him after a second reboot. But others implied that the BIOS version of that Intel box might have a problem with multi-processors.

Yep, the poster over there solved it for me. I just needed to reboot twice instead of the one time.

It is recognizing both cores now - thanks for the help all!
