We're right on the edge of AMD releasing yet another core, the Venice Core, a 90nm process which uses strained silicon and an enhanced memory controller, as well as support for SSE3. It makes overclocking with a Winchester look like a joke from what I understand.
Consider it.
Benefits of Athlon 64s include built in memory controllers, Hypertransport Technlogy for faster memory/CPU bandwidth, 64 bit and 32 bit processing capabilities, and overall better architechture than the Athlon XP.
