I am building a dual-cpu system with a P3 733EB or 933EB. Initially, I will only buy one cpu but later I will add the second. What do I need to look for when buying the second apart from ensuring that it is the same model (733EB or 933EB)?

it is generally recommended that you get the same stepping of the same model..

say you have a p3 733eb and it has a cBO (or what ever the stepping is) you should get the same stepping so they will be compatable.

some steepings may not work in a daul setup.
