I just need to know whether Intel Pentium G620 Sandy Bridge 2.6GHz CPU teamed up with H61/67 Motherboard will be upgrade OR degrade to Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 1.8Ghz on Intel D946GZIS Motherboard.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
CPU & Motherboard Upgrade

definitely upgrade
see this AnandTech - Bench - CPU

But, the performance gain will not be too much in my opinion. Better opt in for a sandybridge core i3, if you're not willing to shell out too much for the upgrade, else, wait for some time, collect the money and get yourself atleast an i5.

Some what an upgrade but not too much. If you need a serious bump then Get i5 2400.
Budget for upgrade?
Budget? the processor selected by OP says it all.
Dude still there is a clear budget kinda thing okay??
@ op tell
1.budget
2.requirement
if you are on shoestring
budget then gather some money & get an i5
I really appreciate your views/opinions. Thanks to all of you.
I was really curious to know if Intel Pentium G620 will be on par with my existing 5yrs old C2D E4300 so I put up the query.
The budget could go up-to 12k for CPU & motherboard combo but I really feel that G620 will suffice me & my family's needs in next 3yrs at least or even 5yrs. Moreover I've made up mind to get Trinity or Core i3 Ivy bridge Notebook when they come & stabalise so I'll use that saved money there.
I'm looking for replacement rather than Upgrade.
All of the Components are procured 5yrs back in July/Aug 2007. I'll retain 160gb HDD & 19" monitor and will sell other stuff.
I can at least expect to get 3k or even more out of it & by adding 7k to 8k to it can get Pentium G620 + gigabyte H61 board + 2gb ddr3 ram{or 4 gb 2+2} + DVD + Basic circle cabinet.
If I get good value for my entire system then may go for complete new PC.
I had plans to go AMD way this time but Athlon II & Phenom II are quite old & I feel this is best I can get in my budget. If anything better than G620 in similar budget then do recommend.
Thanks again for your valuable suggestions.
