When you say two processors I presume you mean two physical multicore
CPU's?  If you mean a multicore system (e.g. one quad core i7 CPU) we
have some HP Elite 7000 MI's that seem to work just fine provided you
use the contrib nvidia-x11-drv package (otherwise the fan is a bit load
on the video card).
