I have a 3500+ Newcastle 939 at the moment which is clocked to 2.7ghz (from 2.2ghz) so is about FX-55 speed now (so SISandra says). Is it worth me getting a 4000+ San Diego or a 4000 X2 dual core. I personally don't think it's worth upgrading as i can still get more out of my cpu and reckon i could get 2.8ghz and it'd be costly to upgrade, so, seriously, is it actually worth upgrading? IE will i see a significant rise in performance?

Well, is your performance hurting you now? That seems to be a pretty good clock. Clock it down to 2.6 and see if you can notice the 100Mhz drop.
if you where gonna go x2 i would say get the 3800+ as it can easily clock past the 4000.......but really you have a good clock as mentioned and depending on what you do with your computer, you probably wont notice the difference in cache....correct me if im wrong
