The dual core AMD beats the AMD single cores in everything except gaming. How much better is the single core in gaming? A lot of places say that the games out right now don't take advantage of the dual cores but they will later. Does this mean the performance of the dual cores will beat the single cores in the future?

Yes, it does... Take 3DMark06 for example (a benchmarking software). This benchmarking utility already utilises dual core CPU's, so people with AMD X2 processors, or Opteron 165's, etc... score much higher in the CPU results than people with my processor (AMD Athlon 64 3500+). I would highly recommend you stick with the CPU you have chosen abive (X2 3800+).

Ahh, you've gone for 2GB of RAM! Not bad!

That will be a brilliant computer for that price!
