upgrade x2 3800+ to x2 4400+ while downgrade graphocs card

[urbanlegend786]

hey i was wondering if upgrading from an x2 3800+ to a x2 4400+ is worth ot of o have to downgrade from a 7800gtx oc to a plain 7800gt?????


thanks

I'd say it is. The 4400+ has 1mb cache on each core. The 7800GT almost matches the performance of a 7800GTX.

4400+ is the shit. To put it simply. And I got 2.62 Totally Stable out of it.
So thats like having 2 FX 55s in the Box at one time, it rocks

i voted stay the same.. though, is it possible to squeeze a 4200+ into the budget with a 7800gtx?

While you will see different numbers in benchmarks, you wont be able to tell the difference in everyday use.

On that, save yourself some hassle.

I would say it depends on what you are primarily using the computer for. If you're gaming, then definitely stick with the 3800+/GTX. If you dont game that much, but do CPU intensive tasks, then you may benefit more from upgrading.

about the 4200+...why no advantage at all i can get a 1mb l2 cahce if i upgrade to 4400+

Well, a x2 4400+ and a 7800 GT makes a better all-around system than a x2 3800+ and a 7800 GTX. It will probably be a wash in games, but better all-around for everything else.

wash cars and mow lawns and get both the 4400+ and the GTX

what are you mainly using ur system for? that info would help the decision

 

[urbanlegend786]

Well isnt the 7800GT the same as the 7800GTX just at higher clocks? But the differnce between the 3800 and the 4400 is a .5gig chache

EDIT: I voted no.

No...the 7800GT has less pipes...20 vs. 24 on GTX
