2.X Will *NOT* utilize your second CPU You must have 3.0-SNAP or
Current.
I run 3.0-980426-SNAP on 2 of my production machines. One's an older
dual P-5, and the other is a dual PentiumPRO.  They are both very
reliable. ( and fast! )  Keep in mind that SMP stuff is in BETA and not
recommended for production use.  Caution is advised! ( although many of
us use it ;-) 

http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/getstarted.html  will get you started.

Good luck
