Go for a faster processor, Athlon XP ones are as fast as if not faster than P4 and much cheaper.

What are the reasons u require an upgrade for ??
Gaming, CAD, Graphic design ??

Is it slower than when u first had it ?

if u just want to spend money then , get a quicker processor; but as u say see what the mobo will support.
But as u say u havent much cash, i would think why is it slow ?

What operating system are you running ?

Hobo_Jojo

runnin win2k, need it faster mainly for graphic work and games

its not slowed due to fragmentaion or anythin as i regularly defrag it and occasionaly re format the drives etc...
