You are confused between dual core and dual processors. Dual core is 2 chips inside one processor, and therefore it will have only one socket on the motherboard. AMD's dual core processors go into the same socket 939 that the Athlon 64 processors do. Intel's dual core processors require different mobos.

Dual processors is something that mainly only servers use, and it is two separate processors on one motherboard, which would require 2 sockets

Any AMD processor better than or equal to the Athlon 64 3200 (single core), and any of the dual core AMD processors is good enough to play games.

Any Intel p4 above 2.5GHz and all the dual core pentium processors are good enough for gaming

I hope I did not confuse you more
