Quick suggestion on CPU choice

[UnderWare1213]

For about the same price, which would you go?

Socket 939 3500+ .13 micron Newcastle
Socket 939 3200+ .09 micron Venice

Thanks

if you have the option though, 3500+ san diego.

So I can go ahead and order this? http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merc...ode=M&Product_Code=120210&Category_Code=AMD64

I wonder what clockspeeds I should expect...hmm. Thanks guys.

i would expect 2001mhz

though as a more realistic prediction, 2.6-2.8ghz. any more and you're lucky

 

[Project_2501]

2000.2mhz.

nah, cause more boards automatically oc that much. and the cpu's rated speed is tested at the max case temp denoted on the die, i think 71ºc for revE chips. just by pure nature of the cpu, the cooler temps in a normal case allow for some oc'ing, normally ~50-100mhz as an absolute minimum
