So im thinking of upgrading my computer to either a 3800+ X2 or 4200+ X2. I plan on overclocking the cpu. Which is better to get because i know the 3800+ runs at 2.0ghz and the 4200+ runs at 2.2ghz but is the price difference realy worth it?

Impossible to answer. Is the price difference worth it? The X2 is a more capable chip, and in most of what you do in Windows will be faster, and give smoother performance. Whether it's worth it only you can say.

X2 3800+ will OC just as high as the 4200+ 95% of the time.

Therefore, X2 3800+ FTW! :)
