    Would there be much of a performance upgrade if i changed from my current
    Intel pentium d 820 (smithfield) 800mhz fsb, dual core 2.8ghz to
    a Intel core2duo E7300 CPU 2.66ghz (Wolfdale) 1066fsb

    what do you think?

    probably so, core 2 duo using almost everywhere in applications code now. Moreover it's time to go for quads.

    ive just checked my motherboard manual and i can run a core 2 quad with 1066fsb so a intel q6600 processor is the best i can go for.
    do you think there will be a noticeable upgrade in speed?

    Yeah.. I agree with DPParadise.. But you can also look for buying core 2 extreme or core 2 quad........ as it is new.

    I have a powerful core 2 duo..it's simply fantastic, runs well even for demanding applications.
