Determine the convergence of the following series

$$\sum_{k=0}^\infty {3^{k\ln k} \over {k^k}}$$

I need to determine the convergence of this series. I know it diverges, but how do I prove this?

Use the Root test to get $$\lim_{k\to+\infty}(\frac{3^{k\ln k}}{k^k})^{1/k}=\lim_{k\to+\infty}\frac{3^{\ln k}}{k}=\lim_{k\to+\infty}(\frac{3}{e})^{\ln k}=+\infty>1$$ so on ... If you change $3$ with $2$ then it is convergent; interesting!
