with a 5d mk2 iso 3200 can give good results as long as you expose to the right ( as people say )
in other words make sure your exposure is a little on the bright side rather than being under exposed
high iso and under exposure will more or less always show noise when you try to correct the exposure in whatever software of choice you use
shooting in RAW will give more flexibility that shooting in JPG when it comes to editing your photo's

another thing to consider is if your looking at your photo's at 100% ( pixel peeping ) you will generally see noise even at 1600 iso in low light conditions but when printed the noise will be virtually unnoticeable

i find ( in my case ) a lot of noise problems with the 5d mk2 at higher iso is down to under exposure and trying to recover the detail within an editor
if the exposure is spot on noise even at iso 3200 is not enough to be concerned about
