Well, pretty much everyone is finding that they have to code up applications as multiple threads these days. It can actually make programming easier, in a lot of cases. Because each thread only worries about one aspect of the program. For example, starting java will probably create 20-30 threads.
With multiple machines, surely you still have to split up your workload, or run separate things on the 2 machines to get a boost? It would be easier to make all the machines in the cluster appear as one, so you could run ordinary programs on it.

With regards to fsb, its only really noticeable in games. Particularly quake3, which craves memory bandwidth. You can see the difference in fps even between 133 and 150.
