Will I notice this CPU upgrade?

by thewiz . Updated 20 years, 3 months ago

I have a three year old E-Machine T-1840 with that screaming 1.8ghz Celeron.
I have upgraded everything over this time, ram 1gig,2 barracudas with 8mg caches,fans,burners,software tweaks to the sky…..but under a lot of load the 1.8 gets bottlenecked, say converting video files.
I found a new 2.6ghz with the same specs, 400mhz fsb,128mb L2 cache and so forth.
Would it be worth the money,$79.00 to do this, or would a higher fsb work with the OEM trigem MOBO?
Thanks for your input.
