Remember...dual processors aren't worth crap unless the application takes advantage of the multiprocessors. Sure, I'd love to say that I have a dual P4 1.4G system...but I'd immediately have to follow with "..but I don't have any apps that take advantage of the dual processors so it's not doing anything for me."
I'm sure some of the high end graphics apps have multi-threading capabilities (the Adobe stuff probably) and maybe even SoundForge...I'm not sure. Something to consider...
