Hey guys and gals. I run a few PCs and I have a desktop that is around 3 years old. On this desktop is a Gigabyte M57SLI-S4 Am2 Nforce 570 mother board. Right now I have a AMD2 dual core 5600+ in it. I've been bumming around on Ebay and I see that AMD2 6000+ and 6300's are available for relatively cheap.
I'm fairly tech saavy, enough to put a PC together and understand more than just the basics, however, I'm not too familiar with bus rates etc. when it comes to overall performance. Would an upgrade to either a 6000 or 6300 processor really be worth $100 or so American dollars for a noticeable performance increase?
I mostly play LotRO and games using the Source engine on this PC. (graphics card is an 8800 gt)
Thank you in advance for your help. :)
