I have a 4-year old Gigabyte P35-DSL3 mobo. It's running a Conroe dualcore E6550 2.33ghz that's overclocked to 3.2ghz, and DDR2-800 overclocked to 900.
I'd like to make the system faster but I'm hesistant about upgrading the mobo.
How much faster would the system be if I upgraded to a Wolfdale E8400 3.0Ghz and overclocked it to 3.8ghz (which seems to be realistic for that CPU)? What about upgrading to a Yorkfield quad 2.66Mhz overclocked to 3.2ghz?
