Which one will have more performance in gaming? I am using 32bit XP and will not go to 64bit for a while.

IMO T5600 is a better CPU although I doubt you'd notice more than a very slight difference(if any) between those CPUs especially in games. Check this thread for some benchmarks.
Personally, I'd go with T5600. -
Go for the Core Duo. Better TDP (cooler, more energy efficient), same FSB speed, same cache as the Core 2 Duo; plus, you're getting a ~200MHz boost in clock speed which should close the performance gap between the old Yonah and the improved Merom architecture. The only thing you're sacrificing is 64-bit support, although you can upgrade to a cheap Core 2 Duo later on if you wish.
T5600 or T2500
