It wont make much of a difference now since most games dont take advantage of dual cores. But in the future (within a year or so) games will support dual core, along with some apps. And then the X2 4200+ will perform much better then the 4400+.

it wont be better NOW, but in the future it will, just like 64bit cpus dont make much of a difference now vs 32bit ones, but in the future they will.
