That's strange. I have access to 2 SMP systems, and top always shows a
line for each processor (2 on one and 4 on another).

Heres the top from the server hosting the wiki:

 11:12am  up 78 days, 19:38,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.04, 0.02
162 processes: 161 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU0 states:  0.2% user,  7.4% system,  0.0% nice, 91.3% idle
CPU1 states:  0.0% user,  0.0% system,  0.0% nice, 100.0% idle
Mem:  2064832K av, 1707176K used,  357656K free,       0K shrd,   96024K buff
Swap:  530104K av,       0K used,  530104K free                 1369232K cached

The other thing to look at is: cat /proc/cpuinfo which should also tell
you about each processor.
