Would you want a dual cpu at 1G hz or a single cpu 2G hz, both running windows xp pro?

I would go for a newer hyper-threading Intel processor. You don't double the performance by going to a dual CPU motherboard. The numbers I have heard in the past is you only get about a 30 to 50% increase in performance. The newer Intel hyper-threading CPU's have the capability to run multiple processes at one time just like dual CPUs but they do it one CPU. Intel claims hyper-threading produces up to a 25% improvement in performance
