Venice or Winchester?

Venice can also be overclocked much more than Winchester...the Winchesters had some sort of bug that only allowed the FSB to be OCed to 219 or something like that
 
Yes

Here are the advantages of the Venice/San Diego:

1. SSE3 Instructions
2. Highly overclockable (look at my sig)
3. Lower Vcore (therefore more overclockable)
4. 90nm process
5. Greatly improved memory controller (all 4 slots can be filled with double-sided RAM and still run at 400Mhz)

CONCLUSION! : CERTAINLY THE VENICE

Just one note: Make sure your motherboard supports the Venice. Sometimes a BIOS flash is required.

completely agree. Given the optionb get the venice, the price delta is about $10. However having said all that if your do get a winchester dont feel to bad, i'm 9/10 users wont notice the difference
 
Haha

Exactly. For most users, the extra that the Venice offers is nothing major. In fact, SSE3 instructions for example concern only specific programs and bring a very small performance increase.
