3200+ is worse than the 3.2C so it's probably worse than the 3.06.

AMD64 3200+ beats the 3.06B has little trouble beating the 3.2C because hyperthreading rules.

save yuor money and buy a 2.6c. good for OCing and its really really cheap. there is not too much of a performance difference betewen 2.6 and 3.06

Actually there is a difference, they're the same chip just multiplier's different.

I actually did see difference with my 9800np, between default clock and the overclocked frequency. CPU in Halo showed off, from default 2.6 and OC 3.5 in massive battles, the overclocked system gives about 15-20 frames more when the average frame is at about 50.

Halo is gpu dependent, a bit like 3dmark 03 is. So a 2ghz cpu will only be 1-2fps slower than a 3ghz cpu... Thats why my barton and 9700@9800pro speeds gets 55fps and a 3.2c + 9800pro gets the same....

I think he means 2.6 P4C vs 3.06 P4B, in which they should be equal performance wise (3.06's higher clock speed being counteracted by the 2.6's higher FSB speed). As to the original question, here is my ranking:

A-64 3200+
P4C 3.2
P4C 3.0
P4C 2.8
A-XP 3200+
P4B 3.06 / P4C 2.6
A-XP 3000+
P4C 2.4

Damn Rambus.

Not yet, still looking for 1, they're all goddamn Infineon 3.0ns.

9800pro all uses 2.86ns Samsung. At least all in North America.

I guess Crucial used Crucial memory.
