If it's gaming u want then the gfx card is the way to go. Multitasking C2D is your friend.
Remember the asrock mobo even though I have got it doesn't do the C2D / DDR2 platform justice it's just a temporary stepping stone. You will prolly be eyeing up a decent board after this C2D upgrade.
All depends what you have already ? With the asrock E6400 setup I have it feels like having 2xAthlonXP3200 under the hood (maybe faster but I haven't done a direct comparison). If the game u like playing just uses the 1 processor then you won't feel much difference.
