[bbreezeuk]

hi all,
at the moment i have an overcloked 3700 and was wondering is it worth the money to upgrade to an X2 3800 will their be a BIG performance increase and are these chips good overclockers

Depends on what you'll be doing. If it's multitasking then you will see a increase, not a big increase in performance.
If your using single threaded apps then it will be slightly slower.

I don't think it would be worth the money to upgrade from a 3700+ 2.8ghz to a 3800+ X2.
These are good clockers and some reach around 2.6-2.8ghz but it's luck if you get a good one.

If your multi tasking or using multi-threaded programs it'll be faster, if your not it'll be slower.
