You only need a dual processor board if you are doing heavy multi-tasking or
if you have applications that can take advantage of the additional thread.
Just because you have 2 processors doen't mean that your computer it twice
as fast.  So if you are doing heavy 3D rendering - like Maya then go for the
dual athlons, you could use Durons but they don't have as high clock speeds.
