Im kind of stuck on which to get. If i got the newcastle, i could potentially OC it 100-200 mhz, but if i got the clawhammer, ive heard that they dont OC well at all, but theyve got an extra 512kb of l2 cache, which i hear will be very useful in the future.

Thanks alot guys!

This has been asked a million times...& although i would agree with the poll, it really doesn't matter which one.

Newcastle, because it's cheaper, more common, and the extra 200MHz has a much greater effect than the extra 512K of cache.
