Uh-Oh!!!!!

You may have picked up on something I missed, and it's VERY critical to the article I have writen, and may require a TOTAL re-write

AMD looks like they combine the TOTAL cache of the dual core CPU's, not listing them individually!

I realy think that is the case here, so the 3800+ X-2 would end up as a tie for the 4200+ or even go back to the top of the list, depending on what motherboard and ram you have.

UGH...just goes to show ya "Pobodies Nerfect" and I am glad you guys look closely, keeping me honest (So to speak)

That certainly does make the 5200+ ALOT more attractive than before, but I would still have a hard time making it my top pick, a 400$ price tag hardly fits into a "Budget" choice, and the performance gain of larger cache certainly does not justify the extra cost.

+Rep to you for the great find!
