I'm trying to select a CPU for the computer I'm building. I've pretty much settled on an AMD 64 3500+ socket 939. Now I'm not sure what would be best in terms of a core. Any suggestions helpful.

| Well, the winchester stays coolest, which allows you to clock it higher... But I still recommend you be careful when doing such a thing.
Meh, I don't really think that there's any huge difference between most cores, though, IMO.
Still, I recommend the winchester.

| Winchester all the way!
Performance-wise the 90nm (winchester) and 130nm chips should be equivalent but winchester runs cooler, uses less power and potentially overclocks better. | |
