Speaking from my personal experience, the biggest difference is that the 3800
is a little faster. The reason I had to switch as I was using it in Boot Camp
on a Mac, and I had problems with the lamp turning off in Windows on a Mac.
They have a patch for it that works on most machines but not on a Mac.
HTH!
