I'm currently upgrading a few components (extra 2 gig RAM, 8800gtx) and am wondering if it will be worth upgrading my AMD x2 64 3800 to the x2 64 4800(which is the highest CPU of that line my mobo will take). Would I notice much of an improvement? My current sys runs vista ultimate 64 on 2 gig RAM.
 
I could pick one up for £80ish, which isn't too bad. I thought about overclocking, but supposedly my current mobo isn't great for that + the 4800 has a larger cache size.
If the performance increase from the 3800 to 4800 was minmimal i'd try the OC route.
