The cheapest, cost effective option would be to wait till July 23rd for AMD X2 price cuts, 35-50%, so that X2 3800+ would be slashed a fair bit, and you could buy that and just plop it in with a BIOS update at most.

That 805D isn't totally guaranteed at that speed, other factors like heat and motherboard affect the OC, I'm seeing at least 3.6GHz from them though, they run very hot and use alot of power, and you can easily OC that X2 3800+ past the 805D and still run cooler.
