E2160 upgrade to E5200

[topher]

current spec
Abit IP35 motherboard
e2160 @ 2.7ghz
1950pro - getting a GTX 260 maxcore next week
gaming at 1680x1050

would it be worth upgrading the cpu to the e5200? could probably get the e2160 to 3ghz with a bit more voltage... will the e2160 be a bottle neck?

Well, I'm getting 400mhz more than my E2160, and it has double the cache, so as a £20 or so upgrade I'd say it's worth it

You may be lucky and get a chip like mine, in which case i'd say its definitely worth it...

Mind you, I came from a Athlon 64 3200+, so saw a massive performance increase
