i know about all the TCCD, BH-5, CH-5, UTT, TCC5
which one is better for gaming and 3DMark?
I will be building a system with a Venice/Sandy A64

Which will be better will depend on whether you choose a Venice or a sandy ;)

whats the best if i go with a:
3700+ Sandy
or a
3800+ Venice

I personally would get the extra half meg of cache (3700+ for the uninclined), but others might disagree.

As I know for AMD64 both speeds and latencies play big role. So you better get some Winbond and to make them run 2-2-2-5 and 250-270 MHz.
High-end memory is generally wasteful on Athlon 64 with it's memory controller it's not straved for bandwidth... much much better of buying the next tier up in video card which makes a huge difference.
with that said the fastest DDR memory you can buy is UTT running around 250-270Mhz 2-2-2-7 1T

i half agree... you build, buy, OC, and tweak your computer the way you are going ot use it... some of us dont need excessivly powerful and power sucking video cards, but we have to have memory size and bandwidth
get what you need

well i am a big gamer, and i was something thats gonna last me, i heard the TCCD isnt really the best for A64, i heard the Gold VX with some burn-in and volts will get me better performance, with the higher HTT, just wanna make sure, and if ya can just point me in what brand model memory to get. i am also getting that DFI NF3 Ultra board, cause i have an AGP 6800u i want to keep using, now depending on my upcoming paychecks i might just wait and get a G70 GTX when it comes out an go with the DFI NF4 SLI

Well Gold VX is very nice choice for your system. TCCD could hit some speeds but you also need tight timings.
