M Mentali$T Daemon Poster Messages 1,499 Mar 25, 2006 #2 The 3500+ is 2.2 Ghz and the 3200+ is only 2Ghz so yeah there will be a difference. Why would you want to downgrade anyway?

OP OP N Norcent Banned Messages 1,829 Mar 25, 2006 #3 because it'll save some money and i am all about saving money. I mean in video games though will i be able to notice a difference? I noticed a difference from my intel p4 2.8Ghz to this amd athlon 64 3500+ and it wasn't a minor difference either.

macdude425 Member (again) Messages 4,202 Location Raul's Wild Kingdom...How 'bout that, huh? Mar 25, 2006 #8 I don't think so...if you're gonna game, that video card is going to hold you back quite a lot.
