Btw - would (example) 2 XP 1300 chips run just as fast as a single XP 2600 chip ?

Generally a multiprocessor system will be slower in a straight line than a faster single processor system, but won't slow down so much under load.
If you take combustion engines as an analogy - a sportscar is your single processor and a lorry is your multiprocessor system. Generally you wouldn't expect a lorry to do 200mph, just as you wouldn't tow 10 tonnes up a hill with a Ferrari.
