E3 venices had a tendency to get a good overclock, if you got the right steppings with the right week.

Mmm... just get a nice opteron and oc it like a mofo.

Venice is cheaper!

3200+ is only $10 more and had a higher multi.

3000/3200 Venice or 146 Opty

My 3200 does 2.8 w/ 1.42v but that was an earlier chip, the newer Venice chips haven't been clocking that great, I would go with an Opty.

Don't waste your money, way over priced for the performance you get compared to an a64 chip.

I just wanted to see what the A64 had to offer so I put together the cheapest build (see sig) and I am happy. First venture in the A64 arena. Much faster than my other P4s and XP boxes.
