If you've already got a decent S939 motherboard on your hands it would be almost criminal not to try an Athlon 64 3000+ E3-stepping CPU. Sure, it's not hugely fast at default speeds, but I'd be amazed if 2.5GHz wasn't a given and 3GHz on the cards with better cooling. There's just something rather naughty but nice about 50% overclocks with near-default voltage. For once, you can have your cake and eat it! Yum.

Great article. I've been eyeing those Venice cores for a while. I think when my current rig starts to grow long in the tooth and becomes a sole folder, I'll run a serverely OC'd Venice and a A64 X2 side by side for various purposes.
