Definitely if you can as the core 2's are much quicker than the pentium D's (I'm running the same chip as you) but we have a couple of core 2 systems at work and am really considering upgrading as XP goes like a bullet on them, clock speeds are lower but you will notice the difference.

If I'm honest I reckon downgrading might do the job to be honest. I've got a few machines and the most powerful is the one still using ancient SDRam! All my DDR machines struggle from time to time. No idea why the latest fastest tech seems to be the most useless but its very annoying.
Of course 2 cores working in parallel... thats also way better than a single core chip.

I need a new signature... i'm bored of the old one!

Any bit of hardware no matter how powerful will be taxed at times if the load is heavy but I've definitely found that the OS is more responsive
