I was recently looking at the specs on my pc to decide whether or not I should get a new pc or just upgrade my graphics card (I am upgrading and I noticed this.

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.40GHz (2 CPUs)

I have never noticed it, but I have two CPUs. Is this normal in a pc and what is the purpose of having 2 CPUs. I am thinking that it is because this was at one point an office computer and (I think) was used as a server that it needed the extra juice. Also, here are the rest of my specs, do you think I should get a new computer or upgrade my current one?

Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
System Model: HP Compaq dc5700 Small Form Factor
BIOS: Default System BIOS
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.40GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 1024MB RAM
Page File: 678MB used, 1782MB available
Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500

If you need more info than just put that in your answer and I will add it as a detail.
Thanks for your answers. Just for the record, I am thinking about upgrading because my pc (mainly the graphics card) is very low tech for modern games. I also have a 360, however I prefer the pc and my 360 has the RROD anyway. While my pc has no problem running most games from 2-3 years ago I need to severely lower the graphics on most games or can’t even run them. I tried to install “Just Cause” through Gametap and it is very choppy (like 20 fps) even at its lowest setting.
Also I could have asked my father, seeing as he is a computer technician, but he kind of gives me the, “Wow you are an idiot.” response.
