My system has a 2100+ (1733Mhz) CPU and I have the opportunity to trade it for a dual 1600+(1400Mhz) (tyan tiger mobo) system. the rest of the system is the same (512MB DDR, GF4 128MB...)
Should I do it?

2100+ vs dual 1600+
What are you using your system for?
Server (for example mail server): Probabely good idea as these usually run multiple processes simultanously and therefore benefit from the SMP
Workstation with usually one app eating most power (games? linking (not compiling, for the compiling part it would actually benefit) big apps?) - not a good idea.

I use it as my desktop. Would it helps running PearPC/VMWare faster?
Aside from that, I don't do much with my PC, I always have firefox running with anything from 2 to 20 tabs, xmms, gmplayer... compile a program or two here and there, nothing special.
It's just that I never had a dual processor system before...
