The AMD 3200+ is a great processor but has been out of production for a long time. I tried to get one to upgrade my spare 2500 which is when I found that many of the supposed new ones were "re-jigged" low spec chips with links burnt and new labels stuck on. I know cause I bought one! Eventually got some of my money back. Have not managed to find any genuine new ones. Some used ones appear on e-bay but need to check if genuine. I believe the only compatible new chip is one of the low spec Semprons and this may need a BIOS upgrade!
Take care.
