They would have to be re-written to actually make use of the 2 extra cores. It's like playing Quake 3 with SLI, there is no improvement because it is not written to support it. That, and the fact that it will be insanely expensive.
I thought it was single-threaded and multi-threaded? If you code single-threaded apps, they run best on single cores, and multi-threaded apps run bust on 2+ cores.
