Any real speed advantage with dual Xeon processors?

Hi,

I'm looking for the fastest performance I can get on a networked VFP app.
The server which holds the data is currently dual Xeon, lots of RAM, Win
2003 Server, 15K SCSI drives, 10/100BaseTX LAN. My current idea is to
upgrade the server to 1000BaseTX, and buy a dual Xeon workstation, plenty of
RAM, 1000BaseTX, 15K SCSI drives and XP Pro. The app only needs to work on
the one workstation, and the server is simultaneously handling data for 50+
other workstations with lower performance requirements. The data is all free
table - I can't use DBCs/stored procedures because of FPD apps sharing the
data. Do the dual processors make a difference to workstation speed with
VFP? Does anyone have any better ideas? VFP7, but going VFP9 as soon as it's
available.

Regards,
Neil
