It was a relatively easy decision. There are so many "what if's" about getting a processor just to OC it, because of a review. What if you get a bad motherboard revision and it doesn't overclock well at all? What if your CPU can't get past 3GHz? What if, what if... Well, I still say #2, it's dual-core and is (possibly) extremely overclockable. You could definitely outperform any low-end A64 with the 805 @ 3.4GHz.
