exactly :P if the game runs on a single core, its only 200MHz less then the 4000+, and its dual core, so you can play dual core enabled games better, and in the future, most games and apps will be dual core, do i strongly advise the X2
 
Don't pay the extra 50 for the X2. Get the 3800+, then OC it to 4200+ speeds. Or raise your budget and get the 4400+ for a nice 2mb L2 cache.

:eek:

I find no sense in that... I would definately pay an extra $50 for a dual core CPU! Give it a couple of months, and games are going to be coming out with dual core enabled features... Then this CPU will kick a 4200/4400+!

No, I'm talking about the 3800+ X2 CPU. Sorry I wasn't clear about that in the first place. By all means, he should get a dual core. But it would be better to get the 3800 (dual core) then the 4200 (dual core), and just OC it to 4200 speeds. Or get the 4400+, which is what Im getting. :)

lol, ok...

Yeah, I kinda wish I just bought the 3000+ instead of the 3500+, becuase they're practically the same... and I could've just OC'ed the 3000+... Oh well!

:)

Well you can OC your 3500+ even higher.

Yeah, I s'pose you're right! I just have to keep uping the vcore all the time, and I don't wanna do that until I have the 64 Pro CPU Cooler...

not necessarily. i got the X2 3800+ to go at speeds dangerously close to the FX-60's... despite a 60mhz and 512kb per core difference.
the 3000+ should o/c just as much, but the 3500+ may be more flexible with a higher multiplier.
personally, i think it would be quite easy to get a 3000+ to 3500+ or even 3800+ (yes, the single core one) speeds... just as easy as it would be to get a 3500+ to those speeds.
