My general concern what that with this new tech MTWII would only have access to half the processing power.

With the game being heavy on RAM and Processing power that is the last thing I was wanting.
Unfortunately games including MTW2 will not make full use of the 2nd core. Until Nvidia released some sort of dual-core version, the 2nd core was basically twiddling its thumbs when running games. And even with the new newer Nvidia drivers, dual core cpus didn't measure up much faster in benchmarks.

But I'd still recommend the Conroe for a cpu in its price range because it gives better performance across the board.
