It depends where your system bottlenecks are. 
It might be that a system has run into a problem with memory access 
speed, and switching to DDR memory would make it fly, but adding a 
second processor just means that you now have two processors fighting 
over the same memory bandwidth that was already causing problems with 
one. 

I've found that my PC DDR system seems to cope with everything I 
throw at it irrespective of how many effects and instruments I've 
tried using, and as a result I've reorganised and have been selling 
off all my synthy hardware and soundcards so that absolutely 
everything ends up softinstrument-based. 

Unfortunately, after this reorganisation, if I switched to a lower-
powered machine I might not be able to get it all to work.
