If it is iw ill b saving about £80 ? buy just "overclocking" thats top tbh, will try on this pc first then move on to the new 1
Nope, it will never be an X2 4400 no matter what you do to it. The X2 3800+ has 512Kb L2 Cache whereas the X2 4400+ has 1MB L2 Cache.
An overclocked X2 3800+ @ 2.5Ghz is faster than an X2 4600+ (which also has 512Kb L2 Cache)
