does oracle support more than one CPU for SuSE Linux 9.1 or 9.2 or 9.3 Professional Linux

[max]

We have some performance Problems due to heavy load in an oracle database
10g.
Our Server is Hewlett Packard Proliant ML380 OS: SuSE Linux Professional
9.1.
We have one Processor installed and 4 Gigabyte RAM.
Would it help to install another Processor increasing the performance?
Does Oracle support really 2 Processor Systems?
What could be the expected gain?
