Right now i have a 3500+ single core if i where to upgrade to a 3800+ dual core both in stock speeds would i notice a big enough difference in performance in games and everything for it to be worth it? or howbout the 4200+dual
I just built an HP last night with the 4400 X2 for multimedia purposes. The guy tried to sell me a Intel 940 for $80 more but from what I have heard the 4400 should run circles around the 940 with multimedia and gaming. Is that right?
it should do, i think they may be fairly close in encoding and the Intel may win out in graphics editing but in general and especially in gaming the 4400+ should win
For Oblivion and FEAR their are patches for the Dual Cores and i run circles around my friends 4000+ San Diego on these games and everyday tasks. The 4200+ isnt worth the extra dough. Just OC coupe hunder mhz and youll have a 4200+ from a 3800+.
IMO, it isnt really worth the upgrade right now. Your CPU is still pretty good. I would just wait for the next line of proccessors to come out, which shouldn't be long from now.
