[KLUG Members] debian only showing half my ram?

[Richard Harding]

What is the best way to check your kernel options to see if the highmem 
is off?

I am worried that maybe the kernel did not install with the dual 
processors and that is why I only see half the ram.

Since there is only one cpu in this list does it mean I am running single?
rackem:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 8
model name      : Pentium III (Coppermine)
stepping        : 3
cpu MHz         : 733.006
cache size      : 256 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 2
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge 
mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse
bogomips        : 1464.72

Thanks
