Is every AMD 3000+, 3200+, 3500+, & 3800+ a Venice chip? (S939)
I was at a local Computer Shop and they had a 3200+ 939, but it didn't mention anywhere on the box that it was a Venice. Should it say that?
 
ek good lord no, there are lots of other cores on those chips (s939)
3000+ ADA3000DAA4BP Venice (E3)
3000+ ADA3000DAA4BW Venice (E6)

think thats most of them (Prae will correct me no doubt)
 
The E3 and E6 just represent different revisions of the core, E6 being a later version, only a few minor improvments to the memory controller and a few other small revisions. Nothing really to worry about if you cant get E6.

As for overclocking (just in case you were wondering) anecdotal evidence has suggested that the E3 core overclocks better, but i doubt that holds true on average.
