[mythtv-users] single core @ 65nm or dual core @ 90 nm?

I'm building a new HD frontend, and I'm trying to figure out which processor
to buy.  I'm using a AM2 socket... The two choices seem to be between a
dual-core 3800+ Windsor (90nm) at 2.0Ghz, or a single-core 3800+ Lima (65nm)
at 2.4Ghz.  The 65nm will keep it a little cooler (and quieter).  Will it be
enough to handle everything an HD frontend can throw at it?  It would seem
that for a front-end only box, you wouldn't really need the dual-core.

thanks for any advice you can give me.

Matt
