A 9600/180MP and a 9600/200MP both share the same Tsunami-type motherboard.
There is only one processor slot.
I thought I'd throw in a bit of hardware trivia.
The PowerSurge machines (x500, x600) were designed with at least dual CPU cards in mind. The single processor slot on those machines contains signal lines for CPU bus arbitration signals for two processors. So the dual processor cards are fairly easy to build without hardware hacks. I don't know how they make the quad processor cards work.
But as you wrote earlier, the Mac OS isn't really equipped to handle two processors gracefully.
