You'll have to run some tests to find out for sure, but it won't be 100% faster, due to processor synchronization overhead.

One thing to watch out for, your second processor may not be fully compatible with your current one, so you might have to go through a couple to find one that works.  Intel recommends that the processors have the same stepping number, but since your proc is so old, I'd say that might be impossible in your case.
