totally a function of what you get. a single processor pentiumII/celeron 450A/etc will have more horsepower than a dual cpu pentium1/233 -- similar/superior cpu power and no cpu/bus contention. if you go SMP, look into dual pentiumII at the very least, dual celeron if you are on a budget and aren't afraid of taking a soldering iron to your cpus[1].
[1] I've a dual celeron, instructions for folks unafraid of voiding warrantees are @ http://www.cih.com/~hagan/dualceleron/
