got me e6300 at 3GHz would i notice a difference at say 3.4 if i can get i that far? or would you say 3 is fine. I play a few games they seem to be running fast!

You can never have too much cpu speed.

indeed!

cpu performance is a straight line, 3.4ghz would be 0.4/3.0 = 13.33% faster.

What games are you playing? And what graphics card you got? For games I don't really see it making anything but a very minor difference. Perhaps with something that is very cpu intensive like X3, but I don't think it's worth putting your cpu under the extra strain.
