It will go very fast but can you draw and type any faster? You are nto
really going to notice any difference. Spend money on memory and a fast
2D graphics card.

I would not buy the new chip. For one thing, the speeds are so close
that you will not notice the difference. Northwood chips run cooler
than Prescott chips and some benchmarks show the Northwood beating the
Prescott slightly.

Your 2.8 ghz chip should suit you fine for now. I would not upgrade the
processor. As a graphics artist, I would think RAM upgrades would show
more improvement than a processor upgrade.

You might allso consider overclocking your 2.8 Northwood.
I have a 2.6 that easily goes to 3.0 on a sb75g2 with good temperatures.

Yes, overclocking the chip would be better than buying one you don't
really need. That and more ram will make for a super fine system.
