Just on my last question, looking at one customizable system on the dell site, for example. The first option is to get an

Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 640 w/HT Technology (3.2GHz,800FSB)

and the second is

Pentium® D Processor 820 with Dual Core Technology (2.80GHz, 800FSB)

Which would be better for gaming? Is dual core a bunch of crap like HT is/was or does it actually make a difference?
