not sure about the dual CPUs, but for the memory..
run top. it will show you how much real memory it thinks is available. I
suspect it will say 64MB.
you need to read the man page for lilo and lilo.conf, but basically you need
to put the following line in /etc/lilo.conf
append = "mem=96M"
and then run lilo to take effect, and reboot.
