I found these two 3200 Venice cores @ the egg and was wondering what the difference is between them. The only difference between them is one is a "CG" and one is a "BP". Both are boxed processors. Anyone have them and can tell me the difference (and yes I did a search for both part numbers in the AMD forum).

Thanks Eclipse. BTW which one is better (looking for a little light overclocking).

E4 is better due to a better memory controller and other various upgrades.

Thanks, Bona Fide. Now the question is do I upgrade now or wait for M2? (I already have the memory thanks to Kyle Bennett courtesy of the 2005 Quakecon [H]ard OCP workshop. 2 gig set of Kingston PC2-5300)

Personally, I'd sell the memory and upgrade now. By the time you can use the memory, you're going to want to get something faster (my $.02).
