I'd go with the quad just based on the fact that you'll be doing video rendering. like alex said most of these applications support 4 cores, and if you're going to be doing a lot of it now and in the future then go with the quad.

The quad is about £65 more than the duo, but ones of the games I am thinking of buying is Frontlines: Fuel of war, which looks good, and says it supports duo, and quad core processors, so most likely most of the new games coming out will now support quad.
