Is it dual Xeons, P4's PIII's or MP's?

Or will a single CPU do the trick by overclocking (ie the 1.6a@2500mhz).

I have looked at Tom's hardware and Maximum pc and both say that the dual cpu setup is pretty much just for bragging rights and office applications specifically tuned for a particular cpu setup.

Since few programs are optimized for mulitple processors the way Photoshop and some others are, I would say a high-end single AMD or Intel CPU is plenty especially since the Vid card is even more important for fast gaming.
