Which to keep, which to sell?

I'm being nagged to get rid of one of my systems :(

To be fair though they are taking up a lot of space in the spare room :D

I'm keeping the best system for gaming (socket 939) and want to keep another for general use (surfing, word processing etc.) The two I have to choose between are a socket 478 P4 3.0Ghz and an AMD64 3000 socket 754.

My guess is that it's probably best to keep the socket 754 system as it's based around a newer generation CPU and is likely to have a longer lifespan, but I'd be grateful for any advice.

Thanks ;)
 
Thanks for the advice.

It's a Northwood 3.0Ghz with an 865 motherboard.

I was leaning towards keeping the 754 setup as I thought it will probably be around longer as it's 64 bit and the P4 is only 32 bit technology. Just my thought anyway.
