Okay, so I'm buying a new processor, and I have two options at the same price: One is a Retail Prescott @ 3.0 ghz and an 800 mhz FSB w/ HT. The other is an OEM Northwood @ 3.0 ghz and an 800 mhz FSB w/ HT.

I've heard good and bad things about both; anyone have an opinion?
BTW, I'm going to be overclocking it, so heat is a pretty important factor.

Edit - Here's where they be
