If it's for gaming I'd say go for the dual-core. A lot of load get's put on a single core; 1.6GHz might be a bit light.
That said, games are becoming more efficiently multithreaded.
That Radeon should prove to be a bit faster as the 230M as well... I think.

This is to offset the larger memory footprint 64 bit programs have (because of 64 bit instructions that is 8 bytes vs 4 bytes for 32 bit programs).

Larger footprint yes, but not double. Shouldn't be, at least.
