Is your machine a P4 box?
A single P4 Xeon CPU might be represented as dual CPUs due to
hyperthreading support in the kernel.
Can you post the contents of /proc/cpuinfo ? If it reports "siblings",
then your kernel is virtualizing the hyperthreading support.
Check out this URL to see what a two-cpu XEON machine's /proc/cpuinfo says:

Note that /proc/cpuinfo reports 4 CPUs ;) .
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
