as you can see, if you are a gamer and you don't want to drop mucho denero for the 3700/3800, the 3400 is king. it soundly beats the p4 3.2 in most games. if you do want to drop that denero, look at socket 939 for the 3500/3800...price is higher for your performance, but it's the future. You could wait till later this year and the price on those should drop a fair bit and you could get a 90 nm.
the 3000 is your best bet price/performance...it's near the 3200 in those benchmarks, it overclocks pretty well.
keep in mind what the big guy upstairs ^ said

3000<3200<3400 in price and performance
if your looking for the best price to performance ratio 3400<3200<3000 especially if you overclock it any
my advise, now the 3000 plays any game great, three years from now there all going to be out of date
side note:
three years from now processors are going to be crazy look at moore's law, dual core opteron's, the progression from 32 to 64 bit computing, transitioning to smaller production scales (i think intel has 60nm then 45 nm planed for the time frame)....put em all together and i'm thinking for my next upgrade in 3-4 years
The processor of the future:
amd whatever 128 bit, 45nm, quad core, 12 GHz, 4GHz Hypertransport B.A.M.F. Processor
combined with like 4-8 GB DDR 3 or 4 @ about 1000 MHz and an ati radeon elevendy-billion
good rant if i do say so myself
hope you enjoyed
