Yes, Yes you should Photoshop is one of the few dual-threaded apps from the ground up and will take better advantage of more CPU's

And as for any admiration of the Pentium M's processing prowess umm yes it makes less heat for the clock-cycle so is good for laptops but as for speed look to chips with more on-chip cache intel or otherwise and AMD is more bang for your buck there at the moment.
