Best Athlon64 core?

I found the 90nm Winchester core for the 3500+ 939 for 290 bucks, while the Newcastle ones cost only 267. What others are there, and which is the best for OCing?
 
The Winchester 90nm cores use significantly less power and run cooler than their 130nm counterparts. They have also been proven to be excellent overclockers. For a 23 dollar difference, I'd go with the Winchester core.

By the way, you asked which others are there. There are only two variations of the socket 939 chips. They are the Newcastle 130nm and Winchester 90nm.
 
I am having problems OC'ing my 3200 winchester. I say go for the 3500+ to be sure. They all have a little headroom. I will get it next time !
