I hate to say this

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: Good, Cheap. Powerful, even at stock!
Cons: 512k of cache, but that is what the 4000+ is for!
Other Thoughts: Just a little more info on the types:

ADA3800CUBOX=Regular (This one)
ADO3800CUBOX=Energy Efficient
ADD3800CUBOX=SFF + Energy Efficient

The AMD 64 X2 3800+ is great... but this is the wrong one to get

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great price/performance ratio as of Jan 2007. I bought one (before doing the research mentioned below) and it works great.
Cons: AMD has three 3800+ X2's which differ only by power consumption. This one is the worst of the three, and Newegg stocks one of the others (ADO) at the same price. The OPN for 3800+ X2 is one of:

ADA3800CUBOX (89W) (this one)
ADO3800CUBOX (65W) (same price)
ADD3800CUBOX (35W)

Less power consumption it a Good Thing on its own, and if overclocking, it means less heat.

Highlights

newegg AMD64 Dual-core Technology
AMD64 is designed to enable simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. With dual-core technology there are two complete processor cores in one physical package running at the same frequency to deliver TRUE multi-tasking power, allowing users to switch from one program to another without pausing for the computer to catch up and reducing annoying processing pauses.
newegg HyperTransport Technology
HyperTransport Technology (HT or HTT) is a high-speed, low latency and point-to-point link designed to increase communication speeds between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems and networking and telecommunications equipment. The Athlon 64 X2 3800+ AM2 processor is equipped with HT technology to enable a system bus speed of up to 2000MHz, delivering a maximum of 8GB/s I/O bandwidth.
newegg AMD Virtualization
Virtualization on desktop computers allows a single PC to act like multiple virtual machines. AMD Virtualization can enable client computers to seamlessly support multiple operating environments. And it also helps make it easier for PC enthusiasts to upgrade and maintain their PCs through emulation.
newegg CNQ: Cool'n'Quiet Technology
AMD's Cool'n'Quiet technology is an innovative solution available on AMD Athlon 64 processor-based systems that can effectively lower power consumption and enable a quieter-running system while delivering performance-on-demand.
newegg Enhanced Virus Protection
All AMD processors equipped with AMD64 technology are Enhanced Virus Protection-enabled. Enhanced Virus Protection acts as a preventative measure causing viruses to be localized, short-lived, and non-contagious, eventually being flushed from system memory.
