overclocking core 2 duo?

i have core 2 duo E8600 @ stock speed 3.33ghz...with a good aftermarket fan i can get a 1ghz overclock with my asus striker II extreme mobo...currently i get 25-40fps

 

would doing this show a nice fps increase or be a waste of time and money?

 

other system specs:

4gb ddr3 1800mhz ram

geforce gtx280

windows vista ultimate x64

 

 

 

note: i overclocked the video card just to test if it was being used and showed LITERALLY a 0 fps increase at my settings...therefore my bottleneck, as you all know (and i already knew this as well), is in my cpu.

well im also considering selling my mobo and cpu on ebay and upgrading to i7 and rampage ii extreme...it would only cost me around $200 out of my pocket.... not specifically for this game but why not!?!? lol

It will surely increase performance since the game is hard on the CPU but be extremely cautious with overclocking
