Athlon 64 winchester 939 3000+ or 3200+ ??

What does everyone think? Which would be the better of the two to get right now, seeing as they are similarly priced?

The only difference is the multiplier, so if you are going to try and overclock it, the 3200 might be worth the extra ~40 bucks. If you are leaving it at stock, stick with the 3000+, you'd be happy with it.

If you're overclocking I'd suggest the 3200+ as it has a 10x multi.

EDIT: damn you Zobar, beat me to it 🙁

Thanks guys - yeah, I was thinking of overclocking in the future but am pretty new to all this.

Would the 3200+ be able to overclock better than the 3000+ did in anandtech's recent article? (here: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuch...s/showdoc.aspx?i=2242)

Thanks.

Also, does anyone have an idea of how good crucial's "standard" DDr 3200 memory ( http://www.crucial.com/uk/stor...T6464Z40B&cat=RAM) would be for overclocking with this processor?
