I take for granted that you are running Linux or NT, couse windows 9x doesn't support dual processors... (I think...)
...it also depends on how you use your computer. Games doesn't take advantage of two processors, so if you play games go for the 400. But if you a multitasking alot then two 300 is alot faster...

You should see better performance on the dual-300 system, if you run lots of apps at the same time and/or your apps are properly multithreaded (which more and more are). In addition, dual systems are heaps of fun 
I still run a dual P-Pro (2x200MHz) from the old days just for posterity. Oh, and it still whoops a Celeron 500.
