Question: what are you gonna use it for? If for games, keep the extra cash, spend it on a great videocard. If for something else, perhaps spending it on another (slow) part of the computer makes more sense.
Depending on what you do, your processor might not be the bottleneck of the computer, but your harddisk, videocard or memory might be. A well balanced system is better than one with one very fast part, and moderate parts everywhere else.
(Note: if you're going for the original setup, remember to take two DIMMs instead of one; that'll be faster with this motherboard.)
