AMD 3500+ or AMD 3700+

[golf_addict73]

What would i benefit from getting the 3700 over the 3500.......Is it worth it to spend the extra $30 to get the 3700 or just save my money and get the 3500....Also i need a good mobo to go with this in the area of $70-$80....Any input is nice...

I would get the 3500+ like I have. I don't think that it's that much of a difference. Now the 4000+ and 3500+ is a different story, but not the 3500+. Get the 3500+. You can always overclock. Just some more cache I think or fsb.. something... lol... it's not worth it. A good gigabyte or a msi or asus is good...

the thing is i'm not getting good enough memory to overclock because of my budget....so either i get the 3500+ and overclock it with a little better memory......or I buy the 3700+ and upgrade the mem later if i need to

so what thats sayin is i should get the 3500+ venice with good RAM....something like corsair XMS or OCZ gold

now what mobo should i get...I need something under $80....I got the XMS 1GB(2x512)...now i just need to find a good reliable mobo to put all my fancy on to
