The default (non i586) kernel is SMP now even for single core beasties.

cat /proc/version

to see if you have SMP in there, if not, you may have been bitten by the 
anaconda bug that installs an i586 kernel on boxes that are better off 
with the i686 one.  Find out definitively by

rpm -q kernel --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n"
