I have an 800 budget for a new pc and was wondering what x2 chip is best bang for buck.

I was looking at the 4400 over the 4200 and the 3800 as it has the 1mb cache. Buy how much real life difference will this make? Is it worth spending £120 more to go from the 2.0gig 3800 to the 2.2 gig and the 1 meg cache?
 
You have all said what i thought you were going to say. But now i have a few follow up questions...

I didnt originally want to overclock but now you have all got the silly idea into my head and i would love to get the 3800 to 4400 speeds. But i was planning on getting 2 gig of corsair value ram and a good mobo but not one especially good for overclocking and i was going to get a retail chip.

But if i am going to clock, what 2 gig ram should i go for and should i get retail or oem and buy a better hsf?

Basically ive decided that 3800's for me and i want to get it to 4400 speeds without problems. What do i need ram, mobo, cooling wise to do so?
 
As you have said, DFI are nice but expencive. I wantgood quality ram/mobo that will clock but also is solid and wont go tts up on me.

Corsair value or geil value and why?

And what other mobo is good, feature packed, solid, and ocable but cheaper than the DFI?
