The OP wants to know whether both cores are detected, and a flippant
answer won't help him there. In fact they are not by default, because
the install CD does not contain an SMP kernel.

To the OP:

1. You need to install an SMP kernel. Open
System/Administration/Synaptic, and install linux-686-smp. This is a
metapackage which always depends on the latest kernel version, and the
accompanying proprietary drivers (and a long as it is installed it will
therefore make sure that you always have the latest)

2. Reboot. If everything works, you can open Synaptic again and remove
other kernels you might have installed (such as the default non-smp one)

2. Check /proc/cpuinfo (e.g., by doing "cat /proc/cpuinfo" in a terminal
window), and make sure both CPU 0 and CPU 1 are reported.
