No. CPU lines always hit a point of diminishing returns, and unless you've got money burning a hole in your pocket - possibly only if you LITERALLY do - it's worth getting one a speed grade or two below the fastest.

This is pretty much what I thought. It's sorta like megapixel counts on cameras. After a certain point, unless you're doing something that really taxes the limit of the machine you're using, there's no point in upgrading.
