How can I tell if both processors are being used?

I have an old compaq server and I put 2 PIII 500 in it. On boot I get an error about the second cpu not having voltage regulation, but the system comes up anyway.

According to that only your first processor is working.

I found out I have a hardware problem. The system board in this old compaq proliant 800 is missing the voltage regulator module for the second processor. So it is not being used. Thanks for the help anyway.
