As long as both processors will be exactly the same kind, speed, and use the same type of processor connector (Socket 7, Socket 8, Socket 370, Slot 1), you can run dual processors. Just make sure you're running a dual-processor aware operating system, such as Windows NT, 2000, or XP Pro, or any Linux or Unix variant.

You would find it almost impossible to get an exact match for your existing CPU, it needs to be the same speed/voltage/stepping.
You usually needed an extra VRM module for the second CPU on those old boards too. Even if you could find a cpu & VRM module to match, you probably wouldnt notice much difference. Cheaper just to buy a newer PC

If it runs fine as it is now I won't worry anything about it, that is the precursor to today's Dual-Core thingy, but you won't know how to make use of it if you weren't in IT field at its time.
The thing suppose to come in pairs.

It won't work the other CPU has a different pin configuration probably for an older CPU and chip set.
