Dual-core or Triple-Core?
I recently had someone replace a burnt out motherboard, and replacement ended up being a outdated Intel mobo with the worst chipset on the face of the planet, and a pentium 4 to match. Long story short, I'm going to replace it AGAIN myself, with something better.
I am going to install this motherboard:

I am aware that I need a another processor as well, and have looked at AM3s, and cannot decide between a dual-core or triple. Would there be a noticeable difference in how the computer runs based on either of these processors?
Processors:
Computer is an HP P6-101f, which are notorious for motherboards going bad, and we currently have Windows 7 on it (64-bit).

For gaming, you will not notice any differences between an x2 and an x4.
Most games do not benefit from multicore processors.
Same goes for casual browsing and email checking.
You'll realize some major benefits when running multiple programs and
for multicore enabled applications like photoshop,
Given the small price differential, about $10-$20, I would go for the x4.
