AMD recently announced a new revision of the Athlon 64 processor core. This new revision codenamed 'Orleans' brings a number of new features to the Athlon 64 line-up including SSE3 support, an updated memory controller and a 90nm SOI process. However despite of the fact these new processors are substantially different to past revisions, AMD decided to play it quiet.
We have been doing a lot of testing with the new processors designed for the AM2 platform. Combined with the amazing ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard, we found the Athlon 64 3800+ could reach quite incredible frequencies. Next in line for testing was the more affordable Athlon 64 3000+ that we are testing today. Without wasting too much time in dream land I fired up my web browser, headed over to a local supplier and quickly made the purchase, which worked out to be just $90.
We say a 900MHz overclock out of stock cooling is not too shabby. Read on for more details as we experiment with the Athlon 64 3000+ Socket AM2.

But with the venice I'm already at 912mhz on stock cooling. runs at 32 to 37 celcius on full load. I also read the the venice 939 had sse3 support also. It sure says it in in cpuid and another os I'm not suppose to run.

Yep, 938 MHz max OC on my Venice core 3000+, doesn't even get very warm, and Venice most certainly does support SSE3. That IS with voltage cranked up though and I wouldn't leave it on that long term (the voltage is excessive in the picture, I didn't lower it to see what it COULD run that speed at, I was just doing a speed max out). I normally run 2.5 GHz (700 MHz OC) with stock voltages for my every day use.
