Apache Mod rewrite and duplicate content

Hallo,
a simple (?) question for se experts: I intend to apply Apache mod rewrite
to a site in this way:

old URLS ->    item.php?id=213&Cat=Furniture&Name=Simple%20Chair
new URLS  -> Furniture/213/Simple-Chairhtml

I've tested and both urls are now valid and points both to the same
document, in my site I use the new URLS as links, but in SERP old pages are
still to find.

the problem is, as SE spiders retrieve the new URLS, do they somehow
penalize their rank or importance because of content duplication?

And, is it worth to apply a similar change to relative good ranking pages?

ciao
giacomo
