I may just save the money up to go towards my 64-bit system.
Sempron's only use a 333MHz FSB but according to Asus, your board does support a 400MHz FSB for the XP 3200+ CPU, though you would have to run a memory divider with DDR333 RAM. The Athlon 64 doesn't use a traditional FSB and all AMD64 based systems use a memory divider so I would keep your memory and just upgrade your motherboard and get an Athlon 64 3000+ (Venice core). Another thing to remember is that AMD64 based systems love low latencies and tight RAM timings as opposed to P4 systems that prefer raw memory bandwidth.
