Subject: DUAL-PROCESSOR Systems - Are there any benchmarks?

Greetings!

My computer shop says they can put two Intel 550MHz Pentium III or Pentium II
400MHz processors on a tyna BX Motherboard for a dual-processor system.  They
say this would effectively double the speed through task sharing, which is
handled automatically by the Motherboard -- no special software required.  So
presumably that would give me a 800-1100 MHz system (effectively), and chess
playing software such as Chessmaster, Hiarcs, Shredder, etc. would run twice as
fast.

Are there any benchmarks or other published info available for dual processor
systems with chess playing software?  Is anybody using or testing such a system?
 I would welcome any feedback...

Thanks!
JRM
