Fixed now.
Only thing I had to do was install Voodoo kernel!

Field Note #1 @LawlessPPC 2009-03-29

it would have always seen both cores if you had gone to activity monitor. Just with the voodoo kernel it will report how many cores to about this mac. You cold force about this mac to display 20 cores if you want its no proof of how many are being used. Best always to check activity monitor.
