Dual CPU's and Debian Linux

Hi Debianites! My research group will soon upgrade a mission-critical Debian machine to 256M of RAM for running FPU-intensive simulations. I will get to choose a new motherboard and CPU combo as well, but I'll be limited on price which probably means no pentium pro. My question regards the Ty
