I've never heard "dual core is good for multitasking, while single core is better for gaming" - AFAIK there are exceptionally few instances where dual core would flat out underperform in respect to single core.

IDK what the price difference is. ATM I doubt there is much that takes full advantage of dual-core, but if the price difference is not much then go dual core and just hope solid software comes out in the future.

I would go with a different model of GeForce 6800, like the 6800 Ultra.
