Short answer: If you've got the money, and your motherboard supports it, then yes, why not?
I'd reckon close to 4 on air too considering it's 45nm, but it will also depend on the voltages your motherboard can supply. Still, an E6300 at 3ghz won't be lagging behind many cpu's.

I'd wait and get the whole package later with DDR3 tbh.
