Yes there is. At the same price point the AMD64/FX/X2 machines are faster in games. Sometimes there is a huge difference, sometimes not very much.
As everyone else has told you, it's only worth taking into consideration if you are upgrading your system, or buying a new one.
Also, as you seem to have DDR2 in your machine, that won't fit in current AMD systems (Socket AM2 will support it soon) you'd need to replace your *2 Gigabytes* of RAM, as well as the motherboard. Your machine is plenty fast, so spending hundreds on a CPU, a couple hundred on RAM, and ~ a hundred on a motherboard isn't going to be an economically sound upgrade.
How ya doing, buddy?
