I am looking to spend between 200-250 for a new AMD processor for my new rig.
I dunno about you guys, but my comps generally keep me happy for at least 4 years. A year ago I would have gone Barton 3200 in a heart beat, but now it seems like 64 might be the way to go.
Here I see a $3 difference between a Socket A Barton 3200 XP

and a Socket 939 Winchester 3200 64.

I must be missing something, right? It looks damn tempting to me.

What am I missing about this deal, it seems a no-brainer for the 64. I notice a few differences but I do not know their significance.
