wouldn't be *too* bad, would try and clock it a bit further though as you would still see some gains up to the 3.4/3.6ghz mark. Above that there's pretty much no difference

no am guessing its 1920x1200, the only one i can think of is hanns-g.
i think if you could clock it a bit further it would be a good match for now.

yeh its 30" before you get upto 2560x1600
Yeh thats right its the hanns-g if i was going for the 30" res id be looking at a full i5/i7 overhaull anyway for the price of that monitor.
the e6300 wont clock any further, not sure if its a chip/board or memory restriction but it refuses to go any higher. board is a p35-ds3r and memory is 4gb of corsair xms2, its a c2d duo heyday machine sort of thing.

i would still say at 3ghz it shouldnt be too much of a bottleneck for the now.
Yeah 3GHz will be fine, if you get some spare cash a Q6600 would be a good buy, your mobo should get it up to 3.4-3.6GHz regardless of VID.
Or of course there are always the wolfdales....can get an E7200 -E7400 for 50ish and that will do 3.8-4GHz.
