AMD 3800 duel core or a regualr 4000?

if you want the best performance today, get the 4000+, if you want the best performance tomorrow, get the X2 3800+.

Only for multitasking and dual core programs, any other program will only use 1 core, so the 4000 would beat that.

meaning the present and the future, in the future most games and apps will be multi-threaded, but today hardly any games/apps are, so now the 4000+ would perform better then the x2 3800+, but in the future the x2 will perform much better.

im sure he wants as much info as he can get.

And it looks like your trying to get your post count up, so just post informative posts plz.
 
What are you? A moderator? An admin? That post wasn't bad. His question has been answered pretty good, and I think he can make a decision, but if he wants to know more, then he will ask.

Not really, in games the 4000 would have the tinest of advantages if the game is single threaded and coded well. But the 3800 will be stack better in any multitasking, overall the 3800 wins the battle.

but in the future the x2 will perform much better.

How will it get better with age, lol
And not to kill the slogan but ... "the future is here"
 
lol, i didnt meant the processor would physically get better with age, i meant that as games and apps utilize dual cores, it will perform better and better.

You are right, that the X2 3800+ would be the best choice.

Yes but if you're into the professional crowd, you're gonna be running Photoshop .... working with the defacto standard is generally a common thing with the bigshots.

well... never hear of anyone noticing a difference between those 2 on using paintshop pro..
