and i just know one of you is gonna say wait for am2 but i think i'll wait for am2 and the new nforce series 5 chipset to mature so i dont get stuck with a buggy or unstable board and cpu

E3 is the better overclocker by far.

Yea the original Venices are the best overclockers, E3 is the way to go.

Think about A64 939 Opteron my friend. Very OC friendly.....

A 939 Opteron 144 will OC 2300 to 2800 MHz (from 1800 MHz) http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant...=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=120344

A 939 Opteron 146 will OC 2600 to 3000 MHz (from 2000 MHz) http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=40&threadid=1806253&enterthread=y

You'll want to pick up a good hsf as the 1MB cache on these things heats em' up pretty good.

I think most people say E3. Oh BTW, look into opteron if you buying something new. That's much better for your money if you decide to OC.
