Having 2 means that once one is full it then goes onto the other proccessor, it doesnt use them togeather at one time.

I'm afraid you are wrong
Having two processors means that your PC can literally do two things at once. Windows will try to keep both busy as much as it can, but you still won't get double speed, due to memory bandwidth, bottlenecking, concurrency issues...

Personally, I'd go for the AMD64. The speed won't be much lower than a twin processor machine, it'll be far far cheaper, and it'll ease the transition to 64-bit computing.
