athlon 64 3500 (socket 939) 90 nm or 130 nm?

[CaMSpoon]

Is there any reason to get a 130nm version or is 90nm better in everyway? Or is the 130nm faster but down side is more heat?

I'd rather go with the 90nm, for reasons which I can't seem to remember.

From what I have read, performance is basically identical but the 90nm version runs much, much cooler -- up to 10 degrees C cooler when overclocked. There's an article somewhere on Anandtech that compares the two.

90nm is supposed to run cooler and it also has more potential for overclocking. based on just anands review, hehe
