If Red Hat was pre-installed, surely they recompiled the kernel for
SMP.  Regardless, you'll probably want to compile a recent 2.1.x
kernel (2.1.86 seems good, today's 2.1.87 isn't).  SMP is "standard"
in the 2.1.x kernels, and it is *much* more robust than the SMP
implementation in the 2.0.x kernels.

Enjoy.  (If you don't, I'll be forced to come to your office and enjoy
it myself.  ;)
