P3 600-->P3 1000, is it worth it?

[frover2000]

im currently running a p3 600, 256megs ram, radeon 32 meg ddr, and i've noticed that some games don't run as fast as i want them too so would it be worthwhile to upgrade my chip to a p3 1000mhz?

I have a P3 600 as well with a Gf 256 DDR. if you want your games to run faster, you're probably better off getting a better graphics card. Up grad the Cpu later, or both. But, the graphics card will show more improvment than a CPU change.

Getting a better video card isn't going to help much, you've got one of the better cards.

As for cpu scaling, check this article from Tom's
