Ok, is a 939 3200+ Venice, better than a 3700+ 754, ClawHammer? I have the 3200+ and its clocked to 2.5, but I'm wondering because my bud thinks that a 3700 is better???
Venice at 2.5GHz will easily outperform a 754 package 3700+...furthermore AMD64s are very efficent at using cache size therefore unless you're dealing with applications in which you're accessing the same data over and over again, cache size will not play a significant role in performance
