I'm planning to build a medium capability PC, on which I will mainly be playing RTS games at a moderate graphics capability. AMD is the way to go for sure (no-brainer I guess). And now it looks like Venice (RevE - thanks XBoxLPU) is the thing.
Assuming I have enough money to spend, should I go for the 3200 and spend the rest of the cash in graphics, RAM, etc. or should I opt for the 3500 (the difference is almost 80$) ?
Another thing, I'm a newbie and have never OCed. (yeah I know, didn't venture out with the old Intel P4 - 3 years now). From the link (forwarded by XBoxLPU) http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=127, the Venice 3200 can go upto 2.8 Ghz. Thats a lot. I guess I will stop at 2.2 Ghz, which should be 3500 territory.
