Hi I want to upgrade my current CPU (FX53 @ 2.4Ghz, 1meg cashe).
The thing is I don’t know what CPU to buy. I am looking at either the 4400+ or the 4800+.
My current system
Asus A8N SLI Premium
1gig Kingston hyperX memory 2x 512 (getting 2x 1gig same brand soon)
4x 74gig western digital Raptor HDD’s
1x 160 Sata Seagate HDD
2x 160 Seagate HDD’s on USB 2.0 in external SATA housing
Xfx 7800GT (getting the 2nd one in 2 days time)
Apoen 700watt 4x quad 12volt rails
Sony DVD writer
Would the 4400+ be faster than my current CPU?? I really do not want to spend a lot of cash on a CPU right now. 
get an opty it 175 180 it will run cooler and takes less power then the x2 or you could get an opty 165 and oc it to those speeds and save alot of money
I'm also going to have to give the 165 opty another vote, spend the extra money on water cooling or something extravagent and try to hit 2.8ghz
holy crap dude i cant wait for those results how much you think you can get it up to with the new ram atleast 2.8 right
Please mind
