I've picked up a dual CPU copper mine board and it is pointless. It's a fun build and interesting to mess around with but the problem is that the sort of games that like two logical cores are expecting significantly more powerful CPUs.
I put XP on my system with 2x 750MHz CPUs and it's an odd but bearable experience, probably worse than a single p4 1.6GHz.
I'll be trying out games that have minimum requirements greater than 750MHz to see how they run. For instance COD2 expects a 1.4GHz P4 as a minimum CPU but the dual 750s manage 25fps at 1024*768 with a FX 5900XT (DX7 mode) so there is definitely some good usage going on
