I can only provide you answer based on 10 tests in which my friend and I pitted
Deep Junior 6.0. I used a dual AMD 800 Mhz Computer and he used his quad Pentium
Xeon 450 Mhz. Based on this small xample of only ten matches my Dual AMD 800 Mhz
won 5.5 out 10 games, in game in 60 minutes per each side. My opinion is that
the margin is too small to favor the Dual processor, but for some reason we
believe that if we would had continue the match a little bit longer it would
ended even.

Ps: I hope that this small test which is too small to say anything, help you
decide.
