    This is BULLSH!T i just looked at my 3200+ I bought from tiger direct and it's a fake. I was so pissed I called them and they said it's been too long since the original purchase they can't replace it. No more Tiger direct orders from me

    There were an awful lot floating around.

    There was an extraordinary number of remarked Athlon XP 2500+/2800+ chips out there remarked as 3200's because it was so easy to do. A lot of customers and suppliers both got burned (suppliers bought the used chips in lots thinking they got a great deal on 3200's).

    Fortunately (if you can call it that) they run perfectly stable at their true speed.

    With the price of the newer processors falling, start planning/saving now to do a complete system upgrade late this year or early next year.
