Does your board support the new 800 fsb cpu? You won't know unless you check the "cpu support" section first. If your motherboard chipset is either the Intel 865 or 875, then it will probably run. Starmicro has the 3.2 at a reasonable price, and you will notice a substanstial improvement. But I wouldn't spend over $20 for the upgrade.
