Athlon 64 X2 4000+ or 4200+?? (AM2 socket)

[vdechpokket]

which is better? one has higher memory and the other has higher clock speed

4000+.

You can overclock the 4000+ for more clockspeed.

You can't add cache to a 4200+.

4200+. You can't buy a 4000+

I disagree. Get the AM2 4000+ without a doubt.

4000+ (2.0GHz) - 1MB L2 Cache per core
4200+ (2.2GHz) - 512kb L2 Cache per core

Just overclock the 4000+ for that extra 200MHz.

Thought only the 3800 & 4000 are worth getting as they both overclock good, the only difference is that 4000 has 1mb more cache, whats the point getting the others

Looks like AMD's ditching 1x2mb cache X2's

May explain the lack of stock

no, it means that they can be made cheaper with higher yeilds.

Hence my comment above and the 'wink'.
