I want to make a fast computer that I will play games and stuff on. I have a budget. I can afford the 3.2 GHz duo core Intel, but for that price i could get two AMD processors with 3.2 GHz. I want to make a two processor AMD system, but i can't find a motherboard for that. Do you know of any AMD dual socket motherboards? Also would it outperform one processor enough to be worth it. Also is there a dual socket 775 motherboard I have only found 771.?
Dual socket motherboards are typically for server type processors like the Opteron. There was a dual socket AMD platform for the Athlon64 FX 7 series.
The dual socket LGA 775 Skulltrail is expensive.

If budget is quite tight, consider the Phenom ll X3 720. It performs comparable to an Intel Q9300 and has good value for money. Check also the FPS/$10.
Overclock the X3 720 to >3.0gHz and it should be able to compete with the top value processors.
