See this article from Hard OCP. It talks about the differences in performance between PC2100, and PC3200 on the Intel 865 Platform.

Your application is a little different, and suffers less from a lack of Memory bandwidth. This article deals with AMD compatible Chipsets.

I would suspect that your increase in performance with PC3200 be only marginal... (definatly not the 1.5x you mentioned) that said... it's only 150 bucks... why not?
