Since you now have some experience, perhaps you can answer a question or
two.

Do you need a new motherboard for a dual core processor, or will they go
in an existing one with an appropriate socket?  Does the BIOS need to be
multi-core aware?  Does Linux just see the system as having two CPUs?

Presumably that figure is per-processor?
