I'm not 100% sure, but doesn't the kernel that comes with 
the new Mandrake release support SMP. Try installing the 
kernel headers and source RPM that come with the Mandrake 6.1
distribution. From your command line:
cd /usr/src/linux
make xconfig

>From here you should be able to choose the options you want
in your kernel. I believe you will find an SMP option. 
Then:
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install

Make sure to change your lilo.conf file to include your
new and old kernel just in case your new compilation of
the kernel doesn't work.
Good Luck.

an SMP kernel, obviously. :-) They are marked as
"kernel--smp.mdk.i586.rpm" or something similar. It's
pretty obvious which RPMs are smp kernels already. 
Also, ANY kernel you hand-compile is capable of SMP. It's
one of the config options which come up during the
config/menuconfig/xconfig

This is a shot in the dark, but how about

kernel-smp-2.2.13-7mdk.i586.rpm

or

kernel-smp-fb-2.2.13-7mdk.i586.rpm

at

rpmfind.net:/linux/Mandrake/6.1/Mandrake/RPMS

you might want to grab the kernel-headers-2.2.13-7mdk.i586.rpm and
kernel-source-2.2.13-7mdk.i586.rpm from the same site.

Does anyone know which kernal do I need to upgrade to
via rpm upgrade or compile to support a smp system? 
TIA
