None of them, I think.  There is a version of Fritz that can use them, but I
don't think it's available yet.  Also, there will be a similar version of
Junior.  At this time, I believe the only available programs that use multiple
processors are Crafty and Diep.

As long as your motherboard/OS and the program you're using can use both
processors, nothing special must be done.

Yes.

Not quite.  NPS will be probably around 1.8-1.9x normal, but the apparent speed
will not be quite so much.
