would i notice a big increase in performance if i went from a socket 939 athlon 64 3800+ to a socket 939 athlon 64 dual core 3800+??
 
go for a better one, like mine the x2 4200, there well cheap now and it will be a HUGE increase in performance then thats for sure.

EDIT but the x2 3800 would be alot faster too, although as i said the 4200 is cheap so mayaswell go for that
 
4200+ and the 165 come in s939. I'm running a 4200+ right now, upgraded from a 3200+.
 
X2 3800+ is like two 3200+ because each core run at 2.0GHz

Single core 3800+ has clock speed 2.4GHz, it should perform better than dual core 3800+ in single threaded applications
 
i have a socket 939 mobo though
Opti 165 and Opti 175 are skt 939.

I resently upgraded to one.

One thing to note before installing your new Dual Core CPU.
Make sure your motherboard BIOS will support Dual Core. Check your motherboard's Support site for that cpu.
