Well, they are that much better, but if you just bought your 2500+, hopefully the mobo you have should be good for up to a 3200+. It's still way below the 64-bit processors, but game won't be requireing those processors until the prices fall by much more than half.
They are over $700 right now. It's purely a luxury item right now and will be until the processors fall to at least $300 or so. Even then they still would be more expensive than the 3200+ and most Intel processors.
