ok, i'm planning on building a computer soon (soon as in when i get 2k) and i'm debating whether to get the 3800 or the 4200. basically, i'm already planning on overclocking the computer to 2.4-2.5 ghz regardless of which one i get, but the problem lies in which would be the better overclocking between the two. i've heard of people getting up to 2.6 and 2.7 no problem (some up to 2.9) but would there be any advantage what so ever in buying the 4200 over the 3800.
