you should be able to get upto atleast 3.6GHz on either chip but I would spend the extra $20 on the 720BE you get an extra core if you cant unlock the disabled ones,

Weak cache though. They don't overclock that well either, I don't think.
I'd say 720 BE is the best price/performance chip that AMD has. Although 940BE's are pretty cheap nowadays and overclock just as well as 955's.
