Unless you're running a 64bit instruction set, right?

Actually, the Athlon 64 3200+ will totally annihilate an Athlon XP 3200+. The 64 has 1 MB of L2 cache, and an incredibly fast theoretical FSB (over 1 GHz FSB). In any tests reviews I've seen, even the regular Athlon 64 3200+ beats out 3.2 GHz P4's with ease. Past that, the Athlon 64 3400+ and godlike Athlon 64 FX-51 simply dominate. The Athlon 64 is a HUGE step above Athlon XP's...the fact that they're 64-bit are just icing on the cake.
