Well I realize that any of them are great, but I dont want to spend more than I have to.

As of now I have an old socket 478 3.2 ghz P4 and im building a new pc. Anything that improves on that would be nice but I want something that is really going to last and make my PC faster and game much better (yea im building an all new system).

I guess im a little confused on which dual core cpu to get. I really dont want to buy the 4800+ cause that is too much. which model do you think is the best for its price (i am pretty sure I may be doin some ocing, but in terms of stock what is the best bang for the buck)

thanks
