There isnt much difference between them. There is more L2 cache on most Clawhammers (1mb instead of 512kb) and I believe the Clawhammer dissipates less heat. To decide which CPU to take, compare the specs and decide if the extra money is worth spending (newer socket 939, L2 cache, FSB).

I wouldn't worry about that, get a Venice, that's the new core, and I don't think it costs any more than a clawhammer.

Well Venice is not available here (at least not in socket 754)
and those Caches are the same.

so i think i'll just buy a newcastle then.

thanks for the advice..

It is AMD most recent technology. Just like Intel With their newer 775 socket. Intel's 478 isnt used much in new PCs now.

Not to mention that when it becomes cheaper, the X2 uses the same socket as the single-core 64s (939). So you should be able to upgrade with a simple BIOS update. THINK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.....

Well i can see the point.
But those processors are quite a bit more expensive to.
And which (reasonably cheap) motherboard should go with it?
