With a choice and no budget to consider, go dual core! :) Dual 4400+ operating alongside an X1900XT. :p For the price of the AMD64 4000+, it's worth getting the 3800+ X2. Games would run just as well, additionally... with the 3800+ overclocking potential, CPU limited games wouldn't be a problem... with graphics limited games, well.... nothing you can really say here if you own an X1900XT.
 
cheers guys, so will the 3800 have the same sort of performance as the 4200 if its overclocked ? im new to all this overclocking :confused: lol but yeah money is no object..also people have told me that not all programs and games will run on dual core??
 
If you are not sticking to a budget get a chip with 2x1mb cache like the 4400 or the opteron 170.

The extra cache over the x2 3800 will be better for games.

As quoted there really, if money is no object, get a dual core, no point sticking with a single core processor. FX-60 perhaps? Hmm... maybe not a great recommendation, go with the 4400+ or Opteron 170 and put the rest of the money saved towards some decent RAM and motherboard for decent performance PC.
 
yeah thanks for the advice i think im gonna go wiv the 4400,as much as id love the fx60 aint quite got that much to splash out :D wish i did, what would be the best mobo to go for i heard the Abit Fatal1ty is one of the best around?
