Im considering upgrading (well its about time after 3 1/2 years!)

I've been looking on the Ebuyer site and am confused. AMD offer two 3200+ 64 bit chips, The Newcastle 754 pin and the Winchester 939 pin. Which is the better of the two?

Also the retail boxed Newcastle is slightly cheaper than the OEM version. Why would this be? i would have expected it to be the other way around as the retail boxed version comes with the heatsink and fan.
