3500 - 4000 AMD worth it ?

[Stav_13]

hi im currently running a Winchester 3500+ amd chip and am sat here seeing these 4000+ are hitting over FX-57 speeds now, i know that if i brought this chip it may not hit the speeds others are reaching but if it did would you think it would be a sensible upgrade. I mainly use the computer for Battlefield 2 and other games . . . . . . My spec is the following;

CPU: 3500+ Winchester AMD
GPU: 1900XT ATI 512MB
MOBO: ASUS A8R-MVP
SOUND: CREATIVE SOUND BLASTER AUDIGY ZS PLATINUIM
RAM:GEIL 2GB DUAL CHANNEL

Thanks

really, even if i reach 3.0Ghz i would not notice much difference?? surely thats a whole 1Ghz difference, i will also be water cooled so should meet that easily as i have read.
