If you are planning on playing against it yourself, no, you do not need a dual
processor. Unless you are a chess genius of whom we have not yet heard, any of
the top programs will be much too hard for you on a single processor system.
Indeed, the best programs will be too hard for you on a PDA.

You need to tell us more about yourself to get a useful recommendation:

- how good a player are you? Beginner, occasional player, club standard or
better?

- what do you want to do with the computer chess program? Play the computer,
analyze your own games, analyze GM games, watch the computer play other
computers, or something else?
