What AMD has done for the last couple barton chips released is overclock them a tiny bit more and slop a new name on. It's not right. The 3200+ isn't anywhere near to comparable to the P4 3.2 from a techie point of view. The latest P4's have been stomping the latest AMD's.
The Barton's have 512K of cache which from what I have seen first hand, helps alot. That's why my next processor purchase is the 2500+ because it has 512K of cache. Then I can just overclock it to 2600 or higher and I've saved money instead of getting a 2800+.

And I won't be getting a Pentium anytime soon. They are too expensive for me. As long as I can play a game at a good rate, I'm happy.
