Games these days don't use more then one CPU... so whether you have 1, 2, 3, or 4, it will all perform about the same(assuming the speeds are set the same). Multiple CPU's is only usefull for things that process a lot of different info from different sources... such as a server. Some programs such as Photoshop also gain from dual cpu's, don't know a about any more. Only gain of multiple CPU's is the ability is possibly burn or rip CD's with one processor while gaming on another.
