It is immaterial whether or not Crafty would do better on four processors
because other programs won't even work on four processors. The question is
how Crafty does under windows compared to Fritz, Junior and Hiarcs. The simple
asnswer is that Crafty is weaker, much weaker.

By the way, 99% people who play chess do not have a 4 processor computers
anyway.
