Not true at all. If you consider that a system running any modern OS like
Windows (NT, 2000, or XP Pro for SMP support), Unix, etc actually consists
of many process and threads all running, then 2 CPU's can have a noticeable
advantage. Take for example, the ability to run a CD burner or other processing
program in the background, while you continue to use an application
interactively, like photoshop or similar. The OS will utilize both CPU's
to allow both processes to run with less slowdown.

the advantages of multi-processing.
