Only single cpu of course. Dual alpha sucks it loses a lot of system time due to communication. Note that a single cpu alpha system is like 10000 dollar. I can't remember but i prefer my dual 800 system which is worth less as 1800 dollar above that. Regrettably wmcc doesn't allow duals. So that gives crafty a big advantage there speedwise seen, as i join with a single 800 now.
