what CPU core?

right, i'm looking to buy an Athie 3500+ (939) and i know there are various cores out there, but which one is the best, is it the venice core i want?
(i ask becasue i plan to overclock the s**t out of this processor, so its quite important i get the best core)

 

The Venice 3500+ is by far the best for its speed... I'm a big fan of the 3700+ San Diego, myself. About $50 more for double the cache. (1 MB instead of 512 K)

 

the venice core is the one you want, unless you can stretch to the 3700+ san diego cored chip

 

As the 2 above said 3500 venice is the best of the chips, unless you can stretch to a 3700 diego

 

a sandiago 3700+ or a 3500+ venice... although if you want it more garanteed then find a good 2nd hand clocker


^i can't spell 'garenteed'

 

neither can i

thanks for the help, will make sure i get the venice core

 

guranteed

oh and toledo for the win

 

i haven't seen if the toledo clock well or not yet.. some people brought the old mobile 64's

 

mines at 2.6gig atm, havent really pushed it either yet
theres people on Xtreme Systems with X2's at 3gig+ on phase change and 2.8gig ish on water
only problem with clocking them is quite often one core won't go as far as the other
