Look at it from a system cost standpoint. If you look at the cost of a
system the price difference is less than 10%. Example, I've been pricing a
3500+ system at Newegg. The total system cost is $1278, the sample system
with a 3200+ would cost $1190, that's less than 10% more expensive for a
10% increase in performance.

nah, you're paying a 50% premium for a 10% gain in processor speed, which
is, as you well know, only one factor in overall system performance. Bang
for buck wise, that's a terrible ROI.
