I'm trying to solve the new processor v old bank balance problem. Would be a big help if anyone running Athlon 3200 could give me an opinion. How does it fly in 2004? And maybe,too, how it compares with the Pentium equivalent, whichever that may be.

I shall know in a few days. I am upgrading my 1 gig Athlon with a new ASUS board, 1 gig GEil high performance DDR and an Athlon 3200. I am doing ok with the current setup, but really need the extra performance for the weather, so we'll see.Most of the problem posts seem to have mid-high end Intels, so there is hope!
