Is there any point in upgrading?

[Jango]

I have an E6550. Would there be any point in upgrading to a Q6600 for £100, would I see much of an improvement in games etc?

Thx for your reply.

Ok, how long until I should consider an upgrade?

It is a shame my motherboard (Asus P5N-E SLI) can't support 45nm, it would be so much easier to get hold of a quad-core if it did...

I dont think my PSU is good enough for overclocking:

Here are the details on my PSU sticker:

What do you think? I am also going to need a Freezer 7 Pro of course.

Thank you for all your advice
