Subject: Dual 333 P2

Gentlmen,
     This is my first trip to this site -- and I like what I've read so
far!  I have a question that one of you might be able to answer for me.
I have the chance to purchase a dual 333 P2 for a very good price.  My
question is, "Would two 333 P2's give a strength advantage over a single
processor if I were running one of the top programs on it?"  I have most
of the new programs that are available (my personal favorites are
Hiarcs6! and Genius 5 -- followed by MCP7 and Fritz 5).  I'm not very
well versed on just how a dual processor set up works.  If the resulting
performance gains would be noticible (even 50 elo points would be an
amazing gain -- in my opinion) I would be willing to "spring" for the
extra processor and run some test.  Does anyone have an opinion on this
one?  If the extra processor will or will not make a difference, what
are the reasons?  In advance, thanks for the input and help guys!
