What will you be running on the system, the most demanding
tasks?

For typical desktop use, the faster configuration would
usually be the 1000MHz P3 w/133FSB.  For a host-processing
intensive server, the pair of P3 800 MHz may be faster.
Are you certain that you will be able to run the two 800MHz
CPUs in the configuration you describe?  

Frankly, I would not upgrade that motherboard unless you can
get the CPUs very cheaply.  Since you are concerned about
the performance benefits, clearly the best performance would
come from even the cheapest of modern technology.  That is,
unless you have a LOT of memory you need to reuse.
