X2 3800 Vs. X2 4200

[jdoglike]

How much of a difference is there and is it worth the money. thanks

Not really the only differance is Clock speed (2.0Ghz - 2.2 Ghz)

X2 3800s are very cheap ATM and overclock very well,
so go for the 3800, and get a good cooler aswell like an Arctic Cooling one!

Money wise go with the 3800, you can always push it to perform (overclocking) just like the 4200, if not better. Cheers

people always say that, but you can overclock the 4200 as well.

Very true, like if someone says "the AMD 63 3200+ or 3500+" people always say get the 3200+ and OC to a 3500+.

I would go with the 4200+ if you want better performance, but if you are on a tight budget, go with the 3800+.

ok yea i am going to go with the 4200 cause thats what ive been looking at for a while and i dont want to be mad that i changed my mind so late plus it is better.

if you don't want to overclock any, x2 4200 will be (*much) better...
