the 2500 is usually really easy to overclock to a 3200 so just about everyone will tell you to go with that

The 2500+ seems to be a good overclocker when used on the appropriate board. Many users just increased the FSB from the 333 spec to 400 and it runs like a 3200+. Of course there are no guarantees you'll get that speed. Each cpu is a little different. The MSI K7N2 Delta-L board seems to do a good job from what Ive read.
