Yes, with an FX5900, a faster CPU will certainly bring improvement....

Make sure you have enough fast RAM

erm there wouldnt be much increase in performance if you upgrade cpu the 2600+ should be able to handle things with ease...if you do want to upgrade then go for AMD 64 bit cpu... latest rage :D
