I am wondering if this other processor would be worth the upgrade?

Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Dual Core Processor LGA775 Conroe 2.33GHZ 1333FSB 4MB

Looks good, however I would go with a processor with a higher bus speed other then 800MHz. the 1333FSB would be better.

Why not cut all the crap and go with AMD instead?

I would stick with E4500 if I were you

Intel has AMD on the run. Intel is currently the best you can buy for now and probably for some time.
