Offered 2 pc's help me decide :)

[pr0p4g4nd4]

Definately the AMD one

[leeglf]

amd one but i think you guessed that by now!

and with overclocking you should get a 3200+ venice to 2700mhz thats what i am running my 3000+ venice at!

[kempez]

Mine ran at 2.8GHz 24/7 and 2.9GHz bench stable

[pr0p4g4nd4]

2.9ghz? Holy crap! What cooling did you use?

[dave87]

Knowing Kempez, either an XP120 or water.

[EtheAv8r]

Second one - of the two the AMD option is way the best....

[Dark Horse]

Knowing Kempez, either an XP120 or water.

I bought it after him, think he had it under an xp120.

Was quite a nice chip but pales in comparison to a 144 or 146.


Re the new system:

Why not go AM2? Prices are similar (if not cheaper) and you won't have to struggle selling 3rd generation (as s939 will be in a few years) parts when you come to upgrade.
