Practice suggests that there may well be good reason for this.  
Mainboards that are set up for 2 CPUs are likely to
be engineered to a much higher standard than your normal chop-shop 
cheapie special.  An interesting experiment
would be to run a 1 CPU system based on the exact same 2 CPU mainboard 
and if it the level of reliability
would be significantly different.
