A single CPU pretends (in hardware) to be two CPU's, an looks to the OS
and applications like two CPU's. You may want to check out the AMD
dual-core chips - they're less expensive and can offer more horsepower
than the Intel offerings.

There used to be problems with the 64 bit compile of firebird. I don't
recall the details, so double check back here before moving to a 64 bit
Athlon or Xeon box.
