I am no expert on this sort of thing, but I thought I should add one thing, in 
case you havent thought of it... What is the load  on your cpu? It can be 
found by doing a top.. if it never reaches 1.0 while running php apps, then 
an extra cpu is not going to make much difference.  In general I have found 
that the bottleneck in older computers tends to be the hard drive, not the 
CPU.
