As the release of AMD's newest line of Llano chips is around the corner with the new FM1 socket, the AM3 socket CPU chips will drop. I currently own the AMD X4 630 with a slight OC to 3.5GHz, will it be a worthy upgrade to either the:

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 6 Core Processor 3.2GHZ Socket AM3 Retail Box

or

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban 6 Core Processor 3.3GHZ Socket AM3 Retail Box
http://ncix.com/products/?sku=57014&...D&promoid=1343

or

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core Processor AM3 3.4GHZ 8MB Cache 125W 45NM Retail Box
http://ncix.com/products/?sku=46281&...D&promoid=1343

I do basic computing, rarely game, and I do OC, hence the Black Edition. Any point in upgrading? Will I notice the difference?
