E8200 worth it over E2200? (Light(ish) use)

[DAnDan]

Basically, I'm planning to upgrade my system soon, and I'm undecided about the processor. It's only for light gaming use (wow, and a few others... nothing intensive really), and general web browsing/college work.

So what I need to know is will I really see a benefit from the E8200 that actually makes it worth TWICE the cash? I'm getting a 9600GT as a present, so it will be used with that, and probably 2gb of ram.

So, E2200 for around £60, and clock it a bit, or E8200 (I probably won't clock it if i go for that).

Is it actually worth spening the extra £60ish, will I see much better fps or anything? Considering that I am on a single-core athlon 3800 currently, I know I will be pleased either way, but I have a feeling I could spend the extra cash in a better way?

Thanks all

Do the E2200s clock well? It will be my first serious time overclocking anything.

Will an E2200 clocked to around 2.66 have similar performance to the wolfdale?

Thanks, that's good to here. Looks like the E2200 will be the better option for me then.
