The only reason to buy an Athlon 64 right now is to kick some ass in gaming. They're just about useless when it comes to 64-bit applications (or the lack of). Are they 64-bit? Yeah. Do people use them for their 64-bit power? Nope. Do they kick ass in games? Yeah, and that's the only reason to buy one.
To answer your question, yes, the 3200+ is worth it, but make sure you buy the 1 MB L2 cache version.
