yep, its a great analogy

further more, using your example 2x XP1300+ will never be as fast as a single XP2600+ in tasks that take advantage of multiprocessing. This is because its not always possible to evenly split the work between the two processors.

2x usually yields around 75% of the 1x equivalent
