Sup all, I've recently placed an order for my new system which will be a Conroe E6600. Unfortunetly, the chips have been pushed back yet again and likely wont see my "pre-order" until September.

So, from what I understand this chip:
Intel Celeron D 331 Prescott 533MHz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819112206

The above will run in my Gigabyte DS3 and works with my RAM selection
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128012
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145034

Figure for $50 it's worth it for nothing else to setup my machine so when the E6600 comes in I simply put in the new CPU and I'm good to go.

Question I'm asking is, I currently am running a P4 2.4, is the chip above going to give a noticeable improvement over the P4 2.4? I need to gut this machine and would rather wait for the Conroe if it isn't going to be worth the trouble of using the Pentium Celeron D.
 
forgot to mention, primary focus is gaming too. Will the Celeron D still outperform my P4 2.4? Or atleast be comparable to until the E6600 shows up.
 
Not going to be a noticable differance between it and the 2.4ghz P4, unless you had a 2.4c, in which case you might notice the lack of hyperthreading.
