Buy a Tbred B or 2500 barton, decent cooler and run it at 2.2-2.3ghz. My 2100xp is running as fast as a 3200 (if not faster). I would never spend over 200 on a processor when a £50 one will perform just as fast!
Just Agreeing there. I bought a XP1700+ a few months back for about 50 quid shipped, and it's now 100% stable @ 2255Mhz(ish) (196*11.5) Not quite 3200+, but pretty close, and I could've bought 8 of 'em for the price of one 3200+.
Save the dosh and get a better Vid card, or nicer monitor or something.
