Yes and no. You're running at 2.4GHz stock and this CPU is 2.13GHz so clock for clock your CPU is probably still a bit slower. Also the i5 has 4 cores (via hyperthreading) where you only have 2.
interesting.. so is there any specific reason one would ditch the e4600 and get the corei5 ? i mean what are the improvements. ??
