After careful consideration, I have decided to get the x2 +4400 for my new PC.

After reading reviews on the various dual cores, I saw that the 4400 was the best choice;
since it cost almost 2/3 to 1/2 of what 4800 would cost, and is almost as effcient as the 4600.
(it beat 4600 in several test in gaming, ha ha)

Anyways, what I was wondering was if I overclocked the 4400 to 4800 speeds, would there
be any sideeffects out of the ordinary, compared to single cores?

P.S.
Whats the best cooling for AMD x2s?

I don't think there would be anything different. Haven't heard about anything out of the ordinary when OCing x2's. Check out Zalman for good cooling. :headbang: Nice choice btw. That'll be one sweet chip.

XP-90 with a nice panflo fan.or other nice high CFM fan.

same as a single core........

just OCn it to a 4800 would be easy thats only 200mgz to 2.4ghz
