Which would better to have a A64 3000 with 939 pin or a A64 3400 754 pin? Would I be able to overclock the A64 3000 to the A64 3400 or is it better just to get the A64 3400?

also if you want to upgrade your cpu down the road you'll already have the mobo

Definately the 939 and a 3000+, then 8-12 months from now when the FX-55 is $200-$300 you can just slap one in your existing rig

Thank you guys. I had the same idea about it but I wasn't sure if I should or not.

I'd say A64 3200+ 939 since that costs the same as A64 3400+ 754. Not sure why you are choosing between $150 3000+ model when 3200+ is $195 and 3400+ is around $210. Unless you considered the price difference for the motherboards as well.....

I'd get 939 since you can overclock it easily to 2.4ghz matching 3400+ and you have a longer upgrade path. I'd say a longer upgrade path is worth losing 200+ speed rating (especially given the overclocking record of winchesters)
