Different Athlon 64 Core Information

I'm looking at upgrading my old system to a new nf4 SLI system (using the LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR or A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo), but I'm not sure which Processor to get.

I'm fairly certain the FX55 series will be out of my price range, but what are the differences between the Winchester, Venice, San Diego, Clawhammer, etc, models?

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

Price range?

Differences, cache sizes, 4 double sided dimm supported at 400MHz, SSE3, 90nm vs 130nm process sizes.

Really it all depends on how much your budget is.
 
4000+ at Monarch, 500 bucks.

Best thing that I'm seeing, for 939, short of X2. Now if you can hold out for an X2, 2.2 with 512KB cache per core, will be around the same price range. If you think that might float your boat, I would dump a cheap 3000+ Winchester or Venice into that board and hold on until X2s hit retail. You could always just Overclock the 3000+ as a stop gap.

If 500 is over your price range, a 3700+ San Diego would be a good bet with the overclocking results people are getting, at $334. 2.2GHz with 1 MB cache.

Good advice
 
If you are going to overclock a 3000+ will be worth it, and should tide you over until X2

But if you not going to overclock go with the 3700+ and take the 1MB of cache.. However, if you go with the 3700+ you SHOULD overclock because you have a good cahnce @ 2.8ghz..
