I think this site will tell you most of what you want to know.

Personally, i would rather build a faster computer with a single core. Other than doing high end graphics, or running a server, you would not be able to use much of a dual cpu motherboard.

Do you mean having two "PCs" hooked up to one monitor.

Easiest way to get two PCs to share one graphical output device(or vice versa) is to use a switch, you can pick them up from any decent electronics retailer, basically a double ended VGA cable and a switch where they join to switch between the two inputs.
