Either or, friend. AMD has gone for a while now, if it fits the socket, it works. Least that's what I keep getting told.

Go with the 65nm one. Slightly less power (under 1%), for a bit less electrical usage and heat output.

I'd go with the Brisbane due to the larger cache, but I don't know what it's OC capabilities are if you're going that route. Just make sure your BIOS version supports it.
 
That's funny, the 65 nm version runs at 1.9 GHz, the other at 2.0 GHz, according to that newegg page. Does that make sense? Wasn't the die-shrink supposed to allow higher frequencies?? Anyway, the 65 nm has a bigger cache, that should help. My vote goes for 65 too.
