The P3 will be faster due to larger cache.

Using two of them in one motherboard will be slightly less fast
than twice the speed of one, as they share memory access.

Presumably, these are Slot 1 CPUs; you can only dual-process the
ones with 512K of cache, which wasn't available in Socket 370
below 1.26GHz (ran into that at work with some motherboards; they
were apparently designed to use chips Intel never released).
