It'll be interesting to see how well the processor overclocks at that high of a bus speed...it didn't seem to hamper the new 800MHz FSB Pentium 4, which many people were worried about too."

    First, why do people insist on the "it's only 200Mhz, quad pumped" comments? Hint: 200 x 4 is 800.

    Second, the speed rating is becoming a joke. The 3000+ couldn't even beat the 2.8GHz P4 in a lot of benchmarks. I guarantee you the 3200+ will lose in damn near every modern benchmark to the P4 3.06GHz.

    So much for their credibility.
