I went x2 3800+ and have it running at 2.6ghz right now. I very much doubt that there are much games where you will see a better performance with a c2d chip clocked at 3ghz or so. Perhaps stalker, but I wouldn't know anotherone. I also doubt a 3ghz clocked c2d will feel signigicantly snappier then my x2 3800+ at 2.6ghz. It was a cheap 80 euro upgrade, so nothing lost there, and might be 60 euro's if I get to sell my 3000+ venice. Only stupid thing is that 2x512mb ddr 400 extra costs me 56 euro's, I could almost buy 2gb of ddr 667 for that
Pairing it with a 8800gts btw, I'll let you know how it for example handles Collin McRae: Dirt, Two Worlds, Overlord, Shadowrun and GRAW 2. But I bet it will all run just fine. After this upgrade I don't plan on upgrading for another 12-18 months. Oh, and mind you, I've got the performance right now, versus getting it months later down the road.
