Need Advice on Upgrade from P4 2.66 to 3.06

I have a P4 2.66 533 CPU running in a Gateway system. How much of a boost would my system get by upgrading the CPU to 3.06? I have already upgraded to 1 gig of RAM and a X800 GPU.
Thanks for the advice.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by scalpel on 12/01/04 10:37 AM.</EM></FONT></P>

Might get a slight boost, but not worth the cost.
Your rig is pretty balannced now, and you would be better off saving up money for anther 6 to 12 months and then upgrading.

The only reason for such an upgrade would be to get Hyperthreading.

If you do a great deal of multitasking then it might be worthwhile, but it's almost certainly pointless in this case (as with that gfx card your main focus would seem to be gaming).
