Really? So two CPUs share the same RAM? If both are working under the same load, will they split their memory use in half? In other words, if you have 512MB of RAM, will each CPU only have 256MB to work with? (Not that that isn't a good amount of RAM.)

It's not two computers sharing the same box. Think of it as multi-threading, only you can run 2 threads simultaneously instead of making them take turns. Or n threads for n processors.
