if you want to get more opinions, don't get it today and wait till many people tell you what they think.

give some more details about what you want to do with the computer and whether or not price is an issue.

all other things being equal (and price not a big issue), i'd say get the better cpu.

They're both 939-pin cores, right?

So you'll have to give us more reason why we have to choose for you

Is price an object? Also, where are you planning on buying the parts? Newegg, or another store?

Great. Do you need us to just help you decide, or are you thinking of having us come up with an entire parts list?

(If you are, you're basically letting us have all the fun... )

And both cores are within your budget?

Excuse my straightforwardness, but I don't exactly see the problem
The 4200+ is faster, and also has a dual core.

Why exactly do you need us to decide again?
