Pentium Dual

How well will an Intel®Pentium® dual-core processor work with 2 gb of memory? should I go higher to Core 2?
how much of a difference in speed is there between Intel®Pentium® dual-core processor and Core 2 duo?
Also, would it be possible to play the sims 2 or Flight simulator X with only 1 gb? how well would they run?
I would go with the Core 2 Duo processor with at least the same processor speed as the Pentium Dual Core you are considering.
You have to tell me the operating speed/ model number of each processor if you want an accurate answer as to the relative performance.
These two have identical performance scores.
Pentium Dual Core E2160 1800MHZ $83.99

Core 2 Duo E4300 1800 MHz $129.99
Rendering time = 1:54
Yes 2GB of memory is good with Vista. Some gamers use 4GB. I recommend 800+MHz Dual Channel RAM if your system supports it.

My opinion for a new computer processor to run Vista:
A Rendering Time of 1:59 or less
For gaming a Rendering Time of 1:33 or less (1:20 or less preferred)

My opinion for a new video card:
For playing the latest games a FRAPS (frames per second) of 50 or higher (optimum 80 or higher)
For moderate games a FRAPS of 30 or more.
For 2D (simple) games or no games a FRAPS of 18 or more
