CPU Performance issue

Dual CPU boards are certainly not unheard of. They're used in workstations and low-end serves mostly, and if you google them you can find them out there in most modern sockets. However...

I think the real advice to give the poster here is not to even think about a twin CPU system unless you know a lot more about what you want than your question seems to imply. 'Performance' in this context is not easily quantified. One set up is not 'better' than another, it depends totally on the workload.

The situations where Xeons are even a worthwhile investment at all is in server or workstations situations, where you are looking at running demanding software that is extremely well optimized for parallel operation, and that is simply not that...

If you are asking this question here (as opposed to at Toms IT Pro) then you don't need a twelve cored chip, and you don't need a twin CPU system either. Just... Don't do it. If you are even thinking about spending that much on a system, go to a professional who works with the software you want to run and find out what they use.
