Basically the program has to be multi-threaded. As long as you have a multi-threaded program , you can use a P4 with HT , Dual core , Dual Cpu and so on. The actually load balancing is done by the windows task manager and its decently efficient in doing so. However a dual cpu setup will tend to be more responsive since the bus or the hypertransport ( depending on the processor and platform ) doesnt become a bottleneck some both processors have their own single little setups.
Speaking of hypertransport , I cannot wait for Hypertransport 3 . Its going to have INSANE amount of bandwidth. Enough to feed 4 dual core opterons on a single HTT feed. Imagine have all that bandwidth per cpu ! The system would be sooooooooooooo efficient. I wonder when Intel will come out with something similar , given the fact that their bus is getting oversaturated pretty dang fast and scales horribly.
