How much faster would vista64/win7 64 be, if I upgraded a guys pc from a amd64 x2 4200+ to a 5000+ or 6000+? The system is used for web/office work
 
He's on vista atm but he wants win7. I was just looked at the cost of cpus for it today, and their quite dam cheap, so was just wondering it it would be worth sticking in a faster cpu

About a yr ago I upgraded his hdds and mem,, cos he had a slow ide hdd so I got him a nice fast sammy HD322HJ sata, and got him some decent quality corsair 4gb mem. Cos he uses his pc like a workhorse. So all the cheap nasty stuff has gone from his pc, I have even changed his stock cpu for a freezer pro, to try to make his system crash proof
 
It will really help if you can give more details on the mobo.Maybe we'll find better alternatives than a 5000+ or 6000+.
