I am currently running an XP 2000+, which can still somewhat handle games like Half-Life 2, Doom 3, UT2004, COD, etc. I want to buy an XP 3200+ or 3000+ as an upgrade. Would it be significant and last me from a few more years?

XP 2000+ = 1.67 GHz
XP 3200+ = 2.20 GHz

Respectable increase in performance???



P.S. AMD RULES! Twisted Evil

First, consider upgrading to AMD64. This will give you an AMAZING performance boost, even for the low-frequency models.
Second, if you still want an XP, what is your mainboard model? It probably won't handle a Barton. You may look up in your manual.
P.S. I use Athlon XP 3000+ now and feel like I won't be upgrading it for ages. Very Happy

Comment: Modern games also require modern video adapters and lots of RAM. Laughing

Slava have right. You must have good VGA card minimum 6600 or 6800 for playing in these games on medium or high details. I think Athlon 2000+ and good VGA still can be satisfy and does not have a sense to buy 3000+ Smile

Well my motherboard is a Asus A7V8X and is a Socket A 400 FSB. The XP 3200+ is the biggest thing that will fit in my motherboard. No 64 will ever fit a socket A.

And I don't need a better VGA card, my CPU is just showing its age. I have a good card. And my ram doesn't budge on Memory tests either. Its only my CPU that pins out at 100% during heavy gaming like GTA SA.

Okay, than an XP 3200+ is your choice.
