I keep seeing people mentioning this, but I've never seen one. The
original runs at 11x200, so it would have to run at 14x166 to quallify as
a 3200+ XP and that just doesn't sound right. Perhaps it's a socket A
Sempron 3200+ which would probably be clocked between 12-13x166.

I love my 3200+ Athlon (400Mhz!!!). Until I go 64-bit, I at least have
the fastest 32-bit produced. And it *is* fast, there's life in my 32-bit
PC for a while yet.

It was available to HP as an OEM part. After a very short time it was
pulled.

After AMD announced that the Athlon XP was being discontinued, the
retail stocks soon dried up. It would appear now that AMD have dug much
of their old stock out from the warehouses, as the retail channels are
now flooded with certain models again.

You'll find that the 333FSB 3200+ has the fastest clock of any Athlon XP
at 2333MHz, but how they benchmark against the 2200MHz 400FSB 3200+ I
really don't know. http://tinyurl.com/3p4uo
