If you can afford this then put much, much more memory into the machine than 
you normally would with a single processor. For normal workstation usage (no 
monster graphics, database or GIS files) I can't see any improvement for 
anything above 256 megs of memory. For dual processor machines this value 
goes to 512 megs. Of course you can run a machine with much less memory. I'm 
trying to point out that for the maximum amount of performance, memory seems 
to be one of the keys.
