x2 3800 vs. 4200

bigpimp101 · May 4, 2006

is there really a big difference b/w these two or is it not worth the 50 some odd dollars?

Most people would say no, but if you can afford it then you might as well get it.

BTW, please dont double post.

YOU won't be able to notice the difference. So if you wanna save 50$ then go ahead and do it, if you wanna upgrade, do that too.

Ya the only real dif is the core because thay are both 2.0 so its really just can you afford it?

...the 4200 is 200MHz faster...

the 4200 has more cache and a higher fsb i think corect me if im wrong

Dr Studly · May 5, 2006

no
it doesn't, the 4200+ can be clocked 200MHz higher than the 3800+ can be clocked.. thats the only difference

isn't the 4200 better in gaming if a game only uses single core? cause i heard the 3800 stinks as far as it goes in single core gaming

no i havent herd that all i have herd is that dual core prossesors run a litle slower on single core games but it is like that with all the dual core
