It's priced differant because bigger numbers don't mean better things.
You should never purchase high latency memory with an Athlon. Corsair XMS PC-3500 should be using Winbond BH-5 chips, which are very capable low-timing memory chips. This means that Corsair XMS PC-3500 will be a very good match with any Athlon system.

I believe Corsair hasn't been assembling Corsair XMS 3500 for a while. Unless they've started shipping it out again, it should have Winbond BH-5 chips. Because of this, however, it's hard to find, so you would have to look around.

That is not something you would want to buy. That is registered memory, and it does not have Winbond BH-5 chips. XMS 3500 does, but not Corsair's recently offered registered (for Opteron/FX-51 mostly) PC-3500.
The Corsair XMS 3200 C2 should have Winbond CH-5 chips. The Mushkin PC-3200 "222 Special" (mislabled as "Level II" at NewEgg) has Winbond BH-6 chips. BH-6 chips are basically the same as Winbond BH-5 chips, but may need additional voltage to perform to expectations.
