Ok, I couldn't resist at least trying out the 3000+ so I slapped it in the rig when I got home. At this point, I'm really glad I did because it hits 2.5GHz at 1.525V (10 x 250, 4X HT). It takes all 2.8V to get the gig of Ballistix PC4000 to run stable at 208MHz (166 setting in bios), but I Primed it and it's solid as a rock. IIRC, the 3200+ 1MB at 2.25GHz (9 x 250, 4X HT) consistently scored 83.4 FPS in Doom 3 at 1280x1024 High Quality and the 3000+ OC is consistently scoring 84.1 so it's a slight improvement. Soltek Hardware Monitor is reporting the die temp at 44C as I type this and I never saw it get above 46C while running Prime.
At this point, I think I'll keep the 3000+ and return the 3200+ simply because I'm amazed to get a 25% OC out of it. Who needs more Vcore when the latest Newcastles OC like crazy at near default voltage?
The Soltek SL-K8AN2E-GR gets my vote for best nForce3 250 board!
