To dual or not to dual?

[Barney]

Im about to upgwade me PC, and apart from games Im gonna be doing some 3d film editing with sound etc. The questiond ids (for my budget) whether to get either a AMD 3800 venice core (at 2.4ghz) OR a AMD 3800+ DUAL venice core for £20 more (2.0 ghz/x2)

I can overclock the former to outperform even a FX55, but the dual isnt that good fer overclockin. However, I do like the idea of heavy multitaking without strain on my pc, for example when Im playing UO or WoW.

While we are on a techie subject, found an interesting dual AGP/PCI mobo the other day:

id take dualcore its not so much more expensive and the recent nvidia drivers started to support it and test results show major boost in certain games due of it

+2 real cores beats any time hyperthreading or such, theres more benefits from it than drawbacks
