My sister was using a old Athlon FX 3500+ 2.2ghz single core and it recently burned up.
She is a fan of fps games like Crysis and Half Life 2 and her old machine could run it on medium specs.
Her system is
Athlon FX 3500+ 2.2ghz single core (now dead)
256mb PCI-e EVGA 7600GT
430 wat PSU
4gb PC3200 memory
Vista Home
I was looking at single cores and saw this

For a single core but I was wondering for gaming would getting a this

If the Sempron is a good option I was thinking of pairing it up with

or maybe

Be a better option since it is a dual core? I just wanted the thoughts of smarter people then I.
My sister does not have a lot of cash to throw into this and she isn't a "omg max settings" kinda lady in fact almost all her upgrades came from my old PCs.
Her original PC was a bargain brand e-machine T6528.
Any info you need please feel free to ask and I will try to help you help me
Thank you
Also a side note my friend has a Windows XP 64 bit for the dual core setup what exactly does 32v64 bit do?
