Hey guys, I am new to the forums.
I am selling my computer this week and will be upgrading. I currently have a 3500+ running at the stock 2.2. I am looking into overclocking a dual core that will do all the gaming I need. I was thinking of going with the X2 4400+ but after seeing the ending price and reading forums I was thinking more along the lines of a 3800+ and instead buy a nice HSF or even possible water-cooling system. I did toss around Intel processors as well, but i really dont think they touch AMD at the moment.
Any suggestions? Am I better off OCing a X2 3800+, and will i see a difference from this 3500+? Also does having ram that is over pc3200 help with over-clocking AMDs? Was looking into the ASUS boards, they look popular and sound good for OCing. Any advice that anyone can suppy would really help.
