I have a 939 DFI lanparty NF4 ultra D with a 3700+ Diego cpu.
I see the dual core 3800+ on offer this week and wondering whether it will be an good stop gap (prob upto a year) upgrade for me?
I have recently upgraded my gfx to a 8800GTS 640mb to accomodate the new 22" tft.
I feel that the cpu and memory are limiting my gfx card and my enjoyment of games, (mainly WOW and COD2)
Not sure about O/C this unless simple, had no end of problems trying to o/c memory I have which was suppose to be guarenteed to 275 fsb but would not run anything over stock 200fsb even with manual bios settings from the DFI forums.
Will the 3800 improve this greatly over the single core?
Will the 1gb memory still be bottle necking me too much?
Will I have to re-install windows (Which I do not want to do as got just right now)?
Thanks for any advise
