so the question is now,
5000+ BE overclock to 3.2Ghz for $88
or
6400+ at 3.2Ghz for $163
5000+ BE overclock to 3.2Ghz for $88
or
6400+ at 3.2Ghz for $163
the 6400+ and the 6000+ have 2x1MB L2 cache, instead of 2x512kb... but the 5000+ BE is more cost effectiveso the question is now,

There might be a few areas where more cache can help (mainly things like video encoding, maybe winRAR), but mostly you won't notice.Would I still get some close performance with a 5000+ BE overclocked to 3.2Ghz? Also, If i get the 5000+ BE I'm planning on getting another gig or 2 of ram since it would be cheaper.
get sticks in pairsWhat are the rules of thumb with memory? Right now I have 2 slots filled with corsair XMS2 1gs. Should i get another 1g XMS2 or 2 512's. I'm pretty sure there is 4 slots on my board... lol
games that are more CPU bound should have a significant increaseoh okay thank you. So do you think I should go with the 5000+ BE and OC it to 3.2ghz. Basically the same performance for half the price.
Would I see performance increase worth the money from what i currently have?

run with either 2 sticks, or 4 sticks
and stick with the same capacity for all modules
mine is set as so:
i agree with u but also, my CPU maybe holding back the rest of my GPU's performance. When i went from 3.0GHz to 3.33GHz, i got a huge jump in overall performance n a chunk of performance in gaming, like 10 fps more.
FSB: 215
Multiplier: 15.5
Vcore: 1.39-1.40
RAM: 860 4-4-4-12-24 2T
= 3.332GHz!!
Temps are in sig because it ranges according to my LED panel in my case, has temp sensors.
