I do not see why is it so important to have the fastest hardware and for a lot of programs Dual is not faster than single. I do not see a reason to use top programs that you did not write for playing on a chess server. Another idea may be trying to win the correspondence championship but in this case I suspect that buying a lot of computers with single processor when every computer analyze one game may be cheaper and more effective. Another idea for correspondence tournaments may be to have a team of 1000 people who use computers and have rules what positions to analyze(it is possible that one of them will generate a tree by analysis of chess programs and every player is going to analysis one position in the tree for many hours when the choice of the move will be based on all of the scores).
