With my mac I get dual chip quad core, and Adobe premiere uses all the cores and is faster, but I need a separate rendering box which I've always had a PC for.

Sounds to me like I should just get another mac as my rendering machine since you can't reallly get effective dual chip cpu's in a pc config.
Get a Sandy Bridge...easy to overclock. All of mine run at 4.2ghz at least.

You can get effective dual chip config. I just said that its nowhere close to being as cost efficient as an overclocked single CPU solution. You can have the same speed, for half the price with a Sandy Bridge Intel.

Anyway, that's all I can say. Take it or leave it.
