90nm 3000+ or 130nm 3200+ to OC?

I'm debating whether or not to get the 3000+ 90nm 939 A64 on a MSI Neo2 Platinum or the 3200+ 754 on a DFI LanParty UT, both to be O/C'ed using some OCZ 4200 to ~2.6 ghz. Basically I'm thinking I see a lot of people saying they've got problems with the MSI, and the DFI is just a solid board through and through. I've already ordered the A64 based DangerDen watercooling setup, but the LanParty's been sold out on NewEgg all week (due in tomorrow). Is the nice new 90nm worth it when I can get the high-quality DFI mobo for a sure-fire O/C (well, as close as one can get to that)?
 
Id go with the 3000+ 939 if I were you. Anandtechs review got them to 2.6 ghz on air cooling 1.6 vcore. You could probably get it to 2.8 easily with that danger den setup. Or maybe get the 3200+ 939 so you will have the 10x multiplyer instead of 9x.
 
Lol 4 and 4 on the votes...well I went ahead with the 3200+ 90nm on the MSI...I worry about the board but I'll get it working no doubt. I figured I could really make it shine on the water system I'll have, or if not just jump it to 2.6 easy and run it cool indefinitely. Thanks guys.
