Get the 3800, dual-core is the future of gaming and its starting to catch on, soon games will be written for SMP and your performance will be insanely better than the 4000+. You can easily overclock the 3800+ too, mines currently running 2.6ghz x 2 at only 1.35v.

one more late vouch for the x2 3800. I'm running one now and I'm still amazed. Running COD2 while downloading mp3s, running antivirus, burning a cd all at once is jaw dropping.....the 2gigs of ram helps too. :thumb:

Luck is where preparation meets opportunity - Seneca

"Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" - Isaac Asimov

It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book. - Friedrich Nietzsche
