That much depends on what kind of scenes you render.

You should note that 3.7 is not ready for production use at the moment. 
    And it is not necessarily that a multiprocessor system will give you 
a better performace/price ratio.

This of course does not mean a multiprocessor system can't be useful for 
POV-Ray use (even for 3.6 based versions).
