3700+ or X2 3800+

[Entropy]

Heya people, I'm giving my current processor and motherboard to my sister and I'm in the market for a processor. I'm stuck between a 3700+ San Diego Core, and the X2 3800+. I can get the 3700+ for $249.99 and the X2 for $399.99, canadian prices of course.

Now... I mostly play games, would I be better off going with the 3700+? I'm trying to keep my budget as low as possible, but I'm not sure if its better off in this case, because future games might be multi-threaded. Any ideas?

If you are into gaming I would say buy the 3700+ dual core procs won't benefit you unless you do extreme multitasking right now.
