EIther way, its still most places i look £200 more than 3500+ which makes it very much not worth teh cash. Dual channel will beat the 1meg in areas and the 1meg will win in some. From what i've seen, between my 3200+ claw, 3400+ claw, then the 3500+ i upgraded to the 3500+ is just more responsive, better in most situations, my a8v is better than all my 754 boards (unmodded) and is, IMHO, just plain better. THis was(sold both 754's) at about 2.65Ghz on each of the 754's. Newer chip helps for sure on teh clocking front, but even when i've clocked it down a bit (36C in my room right now) it still feels more responsive.
