I am looking at an AMD Athlon 64 3200+. Either Venice or Manchester core. Which one is better and why>?

Clueless

There are a few manchester single cores floating around, although it is difficult to find them for the most part. I've seen a few 3500+ models, but not 3200+.. Manchester single cores are literally dual core processors with one core disabled. Since the manchester core is based very closely on the E4 revision venice (like all new 3200+ models) they should behave identically. Personally, I'd rather have a venice, because I don't like the idea of having a neutered processor :)
