I have a a64 3000+, and I built a a64 3200+ for a friend. It was an identical rig down to the soundcard. Honestly, the performance difference between the two is neglegable to non existant. Save the extra $100 bucks you'd spend and get more memory or another harddrive. Either that, or spend $400 or so more and get an FX chip, where you'll actually see a performance difference. My 2c, mind you.

Cheers,
