Hypothetical question: In a data warehousing environment, is it better to have 2 cpus running in parallel or 1 cpu that is twice as fast?

I have a 50+GB Oracle data warehouse running on an HP G30 that has 12 disk drives connected to 2 SCSI controllers. I'm about to do a CPU upgrade and would like to get as much bang-for-the-buck as I can. I'm concerned mostly about query performance.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
