As bugs could come in any flavor, including a non-SMP >program... Of course bugs can also be in non smp programs but there are bugs that are only in smp version so the only way to know how much smp version is stronger is to test the smp version and not to test faster processor that you believe to be the same. I can add that different programs get different speed improvements from 2 processors. Uri
