Second one (E8400) It's much better, as most games can't even fully utilise a duel core, let alone a quad core, so the higher clock speed of the duel will perform better than the quad core in games.

The latter.
The former isn't a Wolfdale..I think it's Kentsfield.

I'd go for the newer, 45nm E8400.
