I know it's not strictly testing just the CPUs due to the different OS and RAM, but as the question of whether a CPU upgrade is worth it is rather common I thought it was worth sharing.
A little reassuring. I also run a Lynnfield i7 (870) but at 3.8ghz and have held off for a long time upgrading because it still runs the games I play fairly well.
Upgrading the GPU comes first however, AMD7950 still. The longevity of this build has been remarkable, I almost want to keep it going until it starts to have hiccups whenever that may be.
