Check all CPU's are used

We added a new CPU to our 1 CPU box making it a 2 CPU box.
In order to check that Sql is using both CPU's, I'm going
to load 2 bcp files simultaneously. I'll check the task
manager to monitor that CPU usage increases for both CPU's.
Is there a better way to show my sysadmin that both CPU's
are being used ? He refuses to believe that SQL will
recognize both CPU's without a reconfiguration.
TIA,
JackIn Enterprise Manager, right-click the server name, select properties and
click the processor tab. Check the CPUs you want to use. You may need to
stop and restart the services...can't remember.

No need to do a configuration change to use the second CPU.
How to check is.
1. Use the Performance monitor from Control panel ...Admin tools
2. From the conter, u have to select Processor and select the 2 CPUs
seperately.
3. Now you run your SQL server batch processes.
This will give you a picture of CPU usage.
Thanks
