My penis is thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis big.
I'm still running a p4 2.26@2.56, 1 gig ddr333, and a geforce 6800 all from almost 3 years ago (with the exception of the video card, had a 4600 before) and I can run any game out there with no problem. I can even run high resolution in pretty much any game and get decent framerates. Your cpu/mobo probably cost more than my entire rig and I still have a damn good time while playing games.
I have better things to spend cash on (i.e. new snowboard, car, and surfboards) than wasting it all on a cpu that is a complete waste of money. I've always been a fan of intel, but I must admit that your dual core will be destroyed by any AMD x-2 chip, especially if they decide to use water cooling on their chip as well.
