Worth swapping an e6400 for a e7200 (on p5n-e) ?

[benskia]

Hey folks.

Been running my PC for about 18 months now with an e6400 at 3.2ghz.
Thing is, my p5n-e only likes certain settings - 400fsb being one of them. I cant seem to overclock below or higher than that for some odd reason.

So, would there be much performance difference between a e6400 at 400fsb and an e7200 at 400fsb. And...anybody have experience of the e7200 on this board? I recently tried out a q6600 and couldn't get it stable at all.

Ta.

Get a new motherboard!

Seconded, getting an E7200 wouldn't be much of an upgrade to what you have at present.

what bios are you running on the p5n? newer bios' dont like overlclocking as much.
