I am a bit confused about the AMD naming:
Is the socket AM2 (for Athlon 64 CPUs) the same as Socket 939 ?
If not: What are the differences / which is better resp. more future compatible ?
Do Athlon 64 CPUs with the labels 3000+ or 3200+ or 3500+ ALWAYS have a Venice core
(= a core with low (67 Watt) power consumption) ?

AM2 is completely different. AM2 requires DDR2 memory, and is NOT compatible with the DDR memory used with Socket 939 processors.
939 is dying. AM2 is definitely the way to go for the future. Socket AM2 also has lower-power, more energy efficient processors available.
Not all Athlon 64 CPUs have Venice cores. You have some Socket 754 Winchester cores, etc. Look carefully before you buy.
