Default Athlon 64 3000 or 3500?

I was thinking about getting the 3500 socket 939, but then read an article
(URL below) saying that the 3000 could reach 2.6 ghz when over-clocked, the
same as the 3500. That being the case, what would be the advantage to buying
the 3500+? Would over-clocking the 3000 shorten the life of the chip?

thank you for all inputs
