3800 is venus?? i thought venus was 1mb cache.. seeing as my 146 is a venus core (cpu-z says so at least) and is 1 mb cache..

Difference between Venice (name of city in Italy) and Venus (2nd planet from the Sun).

ahhh haha.. misread.. thanks for the correction

 

[massacreinfallx]

i still say the 3800+

what for??? the 3700 has double the cache... and can oc to fx57 speeds.. iknow the jump from my 3500 to opteron 146 was a noticeable jump with multiple applications, the extra cache gave it a nice umph

Venice and San Diego are both excelent cores. The cache really doesn't make much of a difference. I'd say go with the cheapest.

I agree, the cache on an A64 makes a .1Ghz difference in terms of clockspeed performance. A 2.4GHz 512KB A64 is faster than a 2.2GHz 1MB A64.
