I've been trying to fit a X2 4800+ into my budget for the last week and then I looked at the 4400+ and realized that the only difference at all seemed to be .2ghz of operating frequency. Maybe I'm missing something you guys could point out but it's a $310 difference for that? Besides I've been looking at some benchmarks and you shouldn't be able to even notice the difference in games.
Maybe it's just because it's top of the line for X2's? I'm thinking about moving down to 4400+ as mainly just a gamer and saving $310. Tell me if I'm making a mistake.
p.s.I want to go with toldeo b/c of the L2 cache being bigger.
