is it worth building a lan gaming rig with a 3200+

[impreza]

I have a spare 3200+ is it worth using it to build a midrange lan gaming rig with a card like a 7600/x1600? Any sugestions for part under $300, I wont need a hard drive but would need m/b, ram, case, and maybe dvd drive.

If it's an A64 3200+ I'd say it would be worth it. On an older Athlon XP 3200+, not so much. It would struggle with a lot of the latest games. A modern $50 CPU would outdo it...

Its and athlon 64 which I upgrade to a 4200x2 a while ago and I didn't notice any difference in oblivion or graw so is this still the cae in new games such as rainbow 6 vegas or need for speed carbon?

it should work great and is also a good overclocker.

i have played games like oblivion with a singlecore and dual core
amd cpu,s and see no difference.

there are vitually no dual core games out yet.
and for those who think differently.
yes there are but they dont utilize it too its full extent.
