That depends upon the type of OS you are operating. If you are using 
DOS/Windows there will be *no* performance difference *whatsoever*! You must 
use a SMP compliant OS such as Windows NT or Unix. If you *are* using one of 
these OS's then you will see a 150-170% increase in CPU related processing. 
Perhaps more if each CPU is provided with an independent L2 cache.
