Which processor is best for Dell Dimension 4700?

Question

I have 2 processors picked out and i need to know which one will be the best. don't answer if all you are going to do is tell me how outdated my system is. I know its old but it was givin to me and it is very reliable. I have Windows 7 installed on it, a nice graphics card, and I'm getting 4GB of RAM soon. I just need to know which 64-bit processor is best for an upgrade.

Processor 1: http://starmicroinc.net/-p-342.html      This one has 2 cores (even though the dell can only process one), 3.4GHz, and 800MHz bus speed.

Processor 2: http://starmicroinc.net/-p-406.html?gclid=CIGl3qOM4b0CFa_m7AodmmkAyg      This one has 1 core but has 3.8GHz and 800 MHz bus speed.

I love both of them I just need you opinion on the best.

Thanks

Pentium D wins:

but not by too much. Both are very near to the same performance in certain situations, the P4 D 945 is better in others.

Based on:

The D 945 has a benchmark of 748, the P4 3.8Ghz has only a benchmark of 489

Two cores are always better than 1 no matter what. Go for Processor 1 :)
