worth the upgrade?

[bigsaucybob]

i have a p4 3.0ghz with ht technology and i have a dell mobo with a lga775 socket type, would upgrading to this processor show a dramatic improvement and would it still be good for playing battlefield 2? or would i be better off just getting a new mobo and getting a cheaper processor therefore completely ridding myself of dell products? which is better?

thanks

o any by the way i have an intel 915G chipset. i am just clarifying because i have heard u must have a certain chipset for dual core.

You cant run a dual core on that chipset, the pentium d's need 945 and 955 series.

well does that require me to buy a new mobo?

Yes it does.
