Default New cpu AMD 64 X2 3800 or 4200?
Is the AMD 64 X2 4200cpu much more efficient than the 3800? Is it worth the extra money to get it and how much of a performance upgrade is the 4200 if anyone knows?

The real performance boost is crossed at the X2 4400+ because of the 1mb cache for each processor. AMD x2 3800, 4000 and 4200 have 512KB cache.
