I'm about to make a purchase, but I'd like to double check before forking over $190.

I currently have an Athlon 2100+, and would like to upgrade to the 3200+.

The question is, will I see a difference in speed, and how much? For instance, I do a good amount of video conversion (AVI to MPEG2), and would love to speed that process up. Would I see a significant increase in speed? Would it help immensely if I got faster RAM? I believe I have generic PC2700 in there now. I'd be going for some fast, Crucial branded memory.

So, should I go for the upgrade, or should I wait until the next generation and start from scratch?
