you're talking on the fast machines about 30 elo points --- there are also other
points to consider ...

ideal for computer vs computer matches on one machine - each program gets one
cpu and pondering can be on ...

overall system speed responsiveness ...

I am very happy with my dual -- picked my up in the Dell Outlet section and
added the second cpu myself - including the 21" monitor , paid $2K for a dual
capable 1.8Ghz and that was almost two years ago...
