The big advantage of the C2D is the SSE. K10 have better SSE ( full 128bits, C2D not all ).

Wrong. C2D is fully 128bit SSE (on all 3 SSE decoders).

if you disable the SSE on a C2D and a K8, K8 would be faster.

Wrong. The integer unit in C2D is MUCH better than that in K8.

Phenom will be a bit faster than barcelona clock for clock 8-10% i think, with 1066 non registered memory ( barcelona 800 registered ), and HT3 could be usefull for 4 cores.

Do you have a clue what you are talking about? Phenom IS BARCELONA (same core, just different sockets - desktop vs. server).
