Asking for opinions/experience on which would be the best value
overclocker, and why.

Hi.

I have the 3000+ chip and it is overclocked to 2.3Ghz. I know the chip is
capable of more but my motherboard and memory is limiting it as its at
255FSB I think.

I would say go for the 3200+ if its not much more because it has a higher
multiplier and you are less likely to reach the Max stable FSB on your
motherboard.

Did you try a lower memory multiplier?

That's precisely the tradeoff I've been wondering about.

3200+ has everything the 3000+ has, plus a higher multiplier. 10x instead
of 9x worth the difference? I'd say yes, I bought 3200+ Venice.

The thing missing from your logic tree, there, is why you consider a
'higher multiplier' to be of more value.
