Oh, I see Newb Techie Join Date: Nov 2005 Posts: 6	Dual Core or Single core? I'm going to buy a cpu soon I just need help on which CPU to choose. Athlon is what I'm going to use for a cpu, and I'm a gamer who likes to overclock. I would like to spend a max of about 350 dollars. What should I get?

Stick with the 3800 unless you plan on springing for the 4400+ X2. It has the increased L2 cache.
