yea, you seem to have a socket 478 board..and the best CPU you could get is like a P4 3.0-3.2ghz...which wouldn't be much of an improvement.

Just get another 512MB-1GB of RAM, do a fresh install of windows, and OC the CPU a bit maybe. In the long run it would just be better to save for a new computer.
