But depending on the software, doesn't do anything for you.

I've only used the basics (iMovie, iDVD) but I haven't found anything 
yet that actually makes use of the second processor. So if that's all 
you're doing, a single faster processor is faster than two slower ones.

The flip side is if you want to do something else while the computer is 
doing video work, a second processor is great. With a dual 1 GHz box I 
can have iMovie capturing video while playing my favorite games or 
doing other work.
