Socket AM2 4000+

[kmistry]

What do you guys reckon getting an AM2 x2 3800+ or an x2 4000+, this processor was missing in socket 939, and it seems that this one now has 1mb cache as opposed to 512 on the 3800, reckon its worth the upgrade ?

I think it's a decent CPU for the money, if it overclocks as well as the 939 3800's were then it's a damn good price.

My only problem atm is that a socket AM2 of the freezer 64 equivalent isnt out and nobody is yet to overclock an AM2 so we dont know how well they clock!

Doesn't seem all that impressive to be honest

ooh thanks for that, perhaps its not really worth it and keeping the difference to perhaps spend elsewhere will be a batter option.....

Yeah, I'd spend the difference on a better graphics card and just overclock a normal 3800+
