It turns out that the fastest processor my motherboard can support is a 3ghz dual core. The processor I have now is 2.5ghz. So would that .5ghz increase make a difference?
Your post is bogus. Motherboards don't have a "core speed" limit. In fact, if you put a third-party heatsink on top of your processor, you'll be able to go above 3ghz.
Your X2 4800 has two things about that slower than the X2 6000 one is the 500mhz which will give 2-4 fps more in games and will shave off a minute or so encoding or rendering something. What give it the big boost is the L2 cache the 4800 I believe only has 1mb of ccache while the X2 6000 has 2 Mb so will boost thing along some more. Go ahead and get a X2 6000 is will be a nice boost for everything you do now and in the future.

What processor motherboard do you have?

^ Your wrong most motherboards do have limits to the type and speed of the cpu. Overclocking is a totally different part of motherboard.
