Reasons to buy the AMD Athlon X2 3800+
 | More cores 2 | | More threads 2 |
by Legit Reviews (Aug, 2005)The 3800+ even bested a Pentium D 840EE in some benchmarks, which to me is astounding considering the price difference between the two, and while the 4800+ is without a doubt the top dog, the 3800+ at stock speeds and while overclocked shows itself to be a great choice.
