AMD64 3000+ Venice upgrade to 4000+ San Diego worth it??

[Magnum_Force]

Well, the title says it all really.

I'm not to up on CPU's anymore, so I just wondered if the upgrade was worth it given the current pricing and what kind of gains I should expect.

A side note should be I'm basically upgrading my CPU to play Crysis when it comes out.

Please no one try and convince me to go Intel , as I simple cannot be asked with the hassle of changing my mobo and hence reinstalling EVERYTHING that's not backed up, atleast not yet. (But far be it for me to stop people attemptingto justify a move to the Conroe so gimme your best shot).

Current Spec:
AMD64 3000+ Venice (Not OCed)
2gig Ram
X1800XL with Zalman 700-cu cooler
Jetway GT-4 sli Mobo

Well, I haven't OCed yet, but if I OCed the 3000+ venice, could I not just OC the 4000+ aswell?? .

Also, which would be better for price/performance ratio, The 3700+ San diego or the 4000+ San Diego, the 4000+ is £20 more??.

 

[Magnum_Force]

Bah, I can't wait that long

Seriously, everytime I've waited - BOOM! out of stock.

I'm just wondering if the 4000+ is worth the extra £20 over the 3700+

P.S Hope you got the bargain Arctic Freezer 64 cooler to go with it .

Just a silly question really, How do you clear/cancel your order when using Netscape 7.2 browser??

I press the cancel button at the bottom, but it doesn't work
I've closed down all Netscape windows, and started it up again, still doesn't work

Aren't Firefox and netscape based on the same software??

Anyway, I used IE (boo, hiss) to palce my order, which was a 4000+ coupled with an arctic Freezer 64 .

Are the arctic freezer's quiet?? not that it matters because you cannot get louder than a Thermaltake Polo 735 cooler, on full rpm's it's sounds like the thing is preping for takeoff.
