Info is in the title....

What do you guys think? I would only be out about $30-$40 with either of the new CPU's. My current can only do about 2.25GHz max, but I run it at 2.2GHz. Which would be a better minor upgrade?

Thanks

I was thinking of trying out one of the Venice 754's, but then I went crazy, sold everything, and went 939/Dual-core :D

Honestly, I wouldn't even bother upgrading your 3000+, unless you just want something new to play with. In that case, I'd get the Venice (with the 90nm process and the SSE3 optimizations, etc.) and hope for around 2.4ghz (at least).

Yea, it is. But for $40 I am OK with that. I just bought the 3000+ Venice from newegg for $127 shipped. I am selling my 3000+ Newcastle for $90. I am exciting and my new CPU.
