Probably depends on what you're upgrading from. I just picked up a 
Phenom II X6 1100T BE to replace an X3 710. It was both an upgrade in 
GHz as well as cores. So that was a noticeable upgrade. But those are 6 
real cores. A 4-core Bulldozer's cores would be more like 2 cores and 4 
Hyperthreads. Bulldozers do start off with pretty high GHz though, which 
is nice.

I haven't ventured into the realm of aftermarket coolers yet. I'm trying 
to find some headroom within my stock coolers right now.
