Would the gaming performance increase be worth the price?

[fearitzfizz]

Well i have Pentium D 2.8 GHz (Yes its super slow) and i play games like mw2, mw3, minecraft and other games that are demanding
I was thinking of upgrading my pentium d to a core 2 duo e6600 2.4 Ghz.
The Core 2 Duo would cost me about 40$
heres the link to both of the intel pages

http://ark.intel.com/products/27512/Intel-Pentium-D-Processor-820-(2M-Cache-2_80-GHz-800-MHz-FSB)

So do you think it will be worth it?
Thanks

Honestly imo I would just get an entirely new system. Yes the core 2 duo would be a reasonable upgrade.

Absolutely, you will see a major increase in speed. Just make sure that your motherboard is compatible with that processor.

Amuffin i agree but im only 14 and do not have the money to do so. All my other computer parts sucked me dry of almost all my money nad phyco126 yes i know its compatible

its definately worth it if you can't get a new system. core 2 duo >>>>>pentium D

Alright i think im gonna do it and if i had the money i wouldnt get a new system i would get a new mobo with a core i3 and 8 gb of ram but thats out of the picture

if you can get an extra 50 to spend you may be able to jump to a quad. but the e66 isnt a bad upgrade from what you have already.
