i noticed there is a socket 939 model of the 3000+. what would you guys do? 3500 or 3000 performance to cost ratio?

3500+.. if ur gonna go S 939.. go for the 3500+ at the lowest!! thats my opinion

The 3500 is the midrange Athlon64 for the moment; the boarder between the 3800/4000 and the lower 3000/3200s which run the Winchester core. The 3500 comes as both Winchester (.09) and Newcastle (.13) cores

so i take it that the newcastle is the better core?

By technicality yes. BUt not for long. The only reason the Newcastle is "better" is because they come in higher clocks (i.e., the 3500, 3800 as opposed to 3000, 3200 etc). Its not confirmed what the status of the A64-4000 is although it seems to be a remarked FX53 in almost all respects.

i saw one of those aquamark test graphs and the 90nm scored better then the 130nm. any thoughts?

What do you want me to say?

Its the same chip with minor tweaks ... noth that theres a massive difference in stock perf.
