OK. Is it a CPU with more than one core?

Does that mean that there are four CPUs? Or is it impossible to tell without a
SMP kernel?

No, I looks like an older single core CPU. But it has hyperthreading (HTT feature), so it is definitely worth a try.


Also, does the box have the latest BIOS available from Dell installed?

I'll try that in a few days. Btw, it looks like newhandbook/ConfigureKernel
hasn't been updated for the latest loader change.

Yes, our handbook lingers in a permanent state of unupdatedness. If you see errors, the best thing is to just be bold and fix them yourself. That would be a great help to us, if more people do it.
