I have a Intel Pentium Dual Core E6600 3.00Ghz Processor. Now if I upgrade it to a core 2 duo, will I see any sigsignificant improvement in performance? How much improvement I'll see?

I have a Geforce gt 630 and 3.00GB ddr2 ram.
 
Solution
The e6420 has twice the cache, 4mb instead of 2mb but it's a lot slower. It's also 3yrs older than the pentium e6600. I'd go for the e6600. Higher cache size is nice but not worth taking a speed hit from 3ghz to 2ghz. Both are dual core with the same 1066 speed bus.

The core 2 duo in this case would be a step backwards, not an improvement. Keep the e6600.
