You can't run that CPU on that MoBo in first place, they're not compatible.

You can't use two i7 CPUs with that board, only Xeon E5-2600 CPUs will work in dual CPU mode. Not that it really matters in gaming, most games don't use more than 4 cores anyway so an i5 will run them just as well as a single i7, let alone two of them.

My guess would be slightly worse. Im not sure if windows 7/8 will see 2 cpus in the system which would mean that you would have to run a server OS which is not optimized for gaming.

Also gaming right now hardly uses more then 2 cores, maybe up to 4 on the right game. Games are no where near ready for 2 cpus unless the odd flight sim is programmed for it but i highly doubt it.
