Socket 754, or 939

Which should I go for?

I plan to overclock an AMD 64 3000+ with the ASUS K8N-E Deluxe board...

I chose the 939 Socket. AMD is going to phase out the 754 very soon, so if you buy a motherboard for the 754 you will be dead-ended.

there are plenty of threads on this, use the search feature. GET THE 754!
130nm 939s dont have a good price/performance yet, but if you want to go ahead and get the 90nm 939's than be my guest. You will probably have better results with a s754.

I thought the 754 Line would continue with the "XP" based A64s ..........

believe you are correct

Well if this is correct then the 754 line will be indeed just that. No A64 instructions. IIRC the current 754 Semprons are like this. I am guessing AMD will extend this area more next year....
