What sort of score would i expect (roughly)....AMD 64 3800+ Single core, 1Gb DDR, 7900GTX Gfx? Would a 4200+ X2 make much of a difference?

For the 3dmark06 score, get an x2 4200. For real games, get another gig of ram. Unless you can afford both ofcourse.
I'd guess the x2 would increase your score by about 4-500 on 3dmark06. Newer games do use dual-core but i think most of the time 2gig over 1gig ram would make a bigger difference.

4.6k -5.2k
I got a massive leap going from my 3200+ to a 4200 x2 dual core. Can't remeber exactly but i'm sure we are talking 1000's
Take my overclocked cpu now. I still score over 2000 points less than people with the same graphics card but Intel dual core processor.
3dmark06 is heavily cpu dependant. My upgrade of 3200+ to 4200+ x2 and x800xt to 8800 GTS 320Mb gave me over 6000 points in 3dMark06.
But as stated this does not reflect in real life games.
i don't think so.. having dual core would be much faster in windows and gaming...
I would agree. Lots of games use around 2gig of ram. Compared to not many using dual cores.
