I'd say get the 3200 if you can.

I always get the cheapest CPU in a series. you really won't feel a difference when using it.

You probably will get a few more fps in most games though.

u have the 3000+ yourself but yet your KIND OF not really but bashing the 3000+, why? yours is at 2.7, i think thats amazing, im really happy with juss 2.4. i mean if u think thers a huge chance ill get my 3000+ to 2.4 wit value im good.

I'm not bashing it at all, I love my CPU, I'm able to get it even higher, but the reason I got it is because I'm going to be getting pc-4000 ram, so I won't have to run a divider.

ohh, i heard about memory dividers(yes ima noob on ocing, i never done it b4), from what i know they make my ram slower and cpu faster, but wut if i dont use dividers with the value ram, how far will my 3000+ go? im guessing 2.1? 2.2? AND how much slower will my ram be? or i wont notice the difference.

You might (if your lucky) be able to get that up 2.1GHz or 2.15GHz without using a divider.

If you find the sweet spot, you can have your ram operating at 200mhz, which is the normal full speed, and then have your CPU overclocked. Yup, if you get the 3000+ and run your HTT at 266, you'll have your CPU @ 2.25ghz, and your ram will run at 200mhz. er, wait... that's not right...

icic alright thanks everyone... my final decision is im going to go with the 3200+, i guess ill have to save up another 20 b4 i get my headset ahah

But if you have the 3200 and put the HTT @ 250 you can get the speeds up to 2.5GHz
