Venice is a bit cheaper, depending on where you buy. In addition, it has SSE3 support.. also, 4 RAM modules is a joke on AMD Motherboards.... you really don't gain that much peformance from 2 more RAM modules. (I read this somewhere, can't quite remember where, but the performance takes a HUGE drop, especially because of the DDR333, but because of something else as well., you're MUCH better off to go with 2x512MB sticks than 4x512MB sticks.
