What games or applications would be significantly enhanced, from upgrading a 3.2Ghz E2xxx to a 3.8Ghz E7200? Would I notice a difference? (Would that difference be worth the price of an E7200?)
If I were to build a new rig today, it would be an E7200 (most likely) or E8400 (less likely), hands down.
But to upgrade an existing rig, would it be worth it? Or should I wait, until new chips are introduced and the price slides down some to upgrade. Possibly when the E8400's price drops to $100 or so.
Edit: I should mention that I have Radeon X1950Pro and -GT video cards in these two E2140 rigs. Don't know if that changes the consensus at all.
