"Integrated" load balancing and failover are only available with the Enterprise edition. You could certainly load balance the machines with your LD, but you would not have the benefit of failover. Then there is OS clustering.
Dual processors tend to have better performance (there are a lot of contingencies though). Faster disk access is always a plus.
