I've never used a Dual Core processor, but I'm guessing that even then you'd probably be better off with a standard (optimized) kernel.
The viedo drivers probably are your first bet though. A word of warning: the proprietary fxlrx drivers don't work with X.org 6.9, so if you want to try them, don't upgrade x until ATI bring out the next version.
