OK, so I recompile kernel with:

# To make an SMP kernel, the next line is needed
options 	SMP			# Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel

And this will not affect (after reboot) on how system will behave BEFORE I actualy plug in another processor?

Are there any other options that may be added to optimize kernel for SMP?
