New E5200: is it new tech?

[Blackhawk47]

so i was wandering if this is actually better than my e4400 (if both were at stock for example) and if you guys think it is worth it as im thinking about doing a mobo/ram upgrade soon. though im unsure that if i do buy that it would work on current mobo anyway as its a bit iffy about supporting certain cpus.

for example: its fine with the pentium dual core range, the e4*** range but only some of the e6*** range. e6600 is supported but e6750 or the newer wolfdale/quad core cpus arent supported. as of yet anyway.

EDIT: scrap all that, just found on the msi website that it will wont work.

It would be a marginal improvement at best. Stick with the E4400. I doubt VIA's low-end chipsets support 45nm CPUs anyway.
