Not that long Clock speed is two low on those early dual cores my intel quad core runs at 3.4 ghz and dual cores have not been out that long.
Even the xbox 360 is at the 3ghz mark and has a triple core Though I wont get into CPU types and how clock speed can be meaning less.
You will only see a performance gain on games that run multiple threads of code other wise clock speed is king and a older single core pentuim 4 at a high clock speed can kill those things when running a single thread game.
Skip dual core all togeather and Get a quad core that has a high clock speed and over clock the thing if you want something that last.
Over clocking most of intel quad cores is not that hard since they are obviously just getting started on the line and left room on the design to run at faster speeds, but if you do it wrong you risk killing your CPU to early.
