Hi all again,
With my system spec in mind as it stands, would upgrading the the P4 from a 2.8 to a 3.2 make much difference. I have an oportunity to get my hands on one at a good price but my moto is, if it aint broke, don't fix it.Thanks all

Unless it changes the FSB, I would tend to think you would not notice that much of a difference. I'm an AMD person, so I don't know if that upgrade changes the bus speed or not.
When all else fails beat the $%!* out of it!!!

angrymen2001,
FSB is already at 800 so there would be no difference there.OC'ing isn't my thing as someone asked me why don't I just OC to 2.3. I have a realy good stable system and I want to keep it that way.
Cheers

The only major difference would be to your wallet....lol
Asus A7N8X-X
2500+ Sempron @ 2100mhz
10.5 x 200mhz @ 1.80v
512mb PC3200
Ti4200/8X 128mb
WDC 60GB

Well, if it has more cache that makes the big difference. Still not worth it. The hard drive is the slowest hardware in a computer. Hit, buy 2 or 4 36GB WD Raptor HD's and set it up with raid. If you have a huge wallet go for 4 74GB WD Raptors. That will speed things up a lot.

yeah, you would barely notice the difference with the CPU, but if you go the Raptors, even 2 you would actually NOTICE a difference. amazingly fast, its so sweet, buy that instead(thumbs up). The btter deal
