The default kernel shipped with almost all distributions is uniprocessor
kernel. RH provides precompiled multiprocessor kernels, I dunnoo about
suse. If they don't then you should install the kernel sources (should be
there on the CD) and compile it for multiprocessor. Read
/usr/doc/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO for more info.

You may have to give command line arguments to the kernel telling it about
the 1GB RAM you got. In short add a line like

append="mem=1024M"

to your /etc/lilo.conf and run /sbin/lilo. Then reboot. However make sure
that you really have 1GB *free* for the OS. If not, then the m/c would
eventually crash badly.
