Athlon64 - "Venice" and "San Diego" cores - have I got them correct?

planning to upgrade to Athlon64


have I got the right details about these models ?


BOTH "San Diego" AND "Venice" cores are:
90nm ; SOI ; SSE3 ; Socket-939 ;


"San Diego" - also called E4
3800+ and 4000+ with 1MB L2 cache

"Venice" - also called E3
all other speeds - minimum of 3000+ - with 512kB L2 cache

 

What OS?

And why is such exact detail important? It's the rest of the bits like
motherboard features, OS , driver support , 64bit apps, firewalls, AV
etc.

I suspect a bit of www.google.com will help you find review sites,

www.xbitlabs.com lots of CPU details, articles on the 90nm CPUs.

If you are still not sure if any of that is what you want,

Why not wait for the 64 X2 Dual Core systems come out.
