I heard WinXP is still having issues managing the dual core correctly.. so until thats fixed and you can exploit it to its full potential I'd stick with single core..

There are fixes all over the net for those problems, most notably at Microsoft's support page.

I have run into very few issues running an Amd dual core under Winxp, and whenever I have I was always able to fix them.

Hence...

XBOX > PC

However, you do get what you pay for, out of a nicely built Gaming PC...for no longer than six months.
