they all overclock to about the same speed (about 2.8GHZ on stock cooling). the core's are the same, but the stock speeds are different.
if you can afford it, I would suggest the 3700+ San Diego, which is exactly the same as the Venice but has more L2 cache.
otherwise, any Venice will overclock really well

ummm, that site doesn't say what cores they are
they'll all be able to overclock, but the Venices and San Diegos are the best for overclocking

thanks buddy
out of the ones i linked witch one would you get?

 

[Apokalipse]

I would actually look elsewhere and try and find a 3700+ San Diego (939) or I would get a Venice 3200+, depending on how much you have to spend

 

[diabloII]

the 3200 and 3800's are good for ocing

if i were you i'd get a 3200 instead of 3800 and get better ram//hsf

btw, you ARE doing to get a dfi lanparty mobo right?
