Great buy yes. Will get a noticeable performance boost probably not.

However this is where it gets tricky.. Since Intel locks the multiplier -- both processors could very well be indentical except for their multipliers.... In other words they produce the same processor but just crank one up to near its max and sell it for quite more money.

This is true, but you don't actually know the upper limit of your processor because the multiplier is locked. You probably know the FSB limit, or ram, mobo, etc..
If I were you, I wouldn't buy shit until Springdale came out, or if you want an AMD chip, wait for Barton.
