The 64 x2 3800+ is $347, has 2 X 512 L2 cache, but uses only 89w of power.
The 64 x2 440+ is $526, has 2 X 1Gb L2 cache, and uses 110w of power.
Which would you opt for? I know the 2 X 1024 L2 will be faster, but is it worth an extra $200? It will also run hotter, making OCing an issue, I am afraid. Seems like the 3800+ is a cheaper, more OC-friendly solution, what say ye?
