I planned out a PC setup recently that I want to get including the said CPU and now I'm perplexed when I see this:

I want a gaming machine and included the X2 for future games with multi-thread optimizations. However, when I see the 3800+ X2 lag behind so badly, I wonder if it's actually a good choice. Shouldn't it at least perform like a single 3800+ on completely unoptimized games?
Can anyone enlighten me?
