bridging firewall capacities



Does the linux kernel use dual processors for network coding such as for a
briding firewall system whith ipchains rules running on it--e.g. using the
ipchains bridge patches.

I want to build a briding firewall but don't want it to stop dropping
packets 
so, for example
dual 1G intel system with 1G ram and 1 u160 9GB scsi drive and 3 network
interfaces 2 for bridge and 1 for maintenance.
will this work better than for example  a single 1Ghz processor machine in
similar confiuration
