Different sockets mean they take different processors. Firstly, whats you budget? Secondly, do you prefer AMD over Intel? (You should ;-) )
My recommendation is a Socket 939 running and AMD x2 or Dual core opteron. But this is based on my requirements, yours may be different.
With dual core, its not that your computer is going twice as fast, more it can do twice as much. I encode movies, listen to music, browse web etc with mine without noticing any decrease in perfomance. (I have a DFI Ultra-D mobo (Socket 939) running an Opteron 170 (dual core).
