Ok, I have this:
Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit)
Model Compaq-Presario FQ582AA-ABA SR5710F (ECS Iris8)
Processor AMD Athlon X2 4450e @ 2.31 GHz (best that MoBo can accept)
1 processor, 2 cores
Processor ID AuthenticAMD Family 15 Model 107 Stepping 2
Processor Codename
Processor Package Socket AM2 (940)
L1 Instruction Cache 64 KB x 2
L1 Data Cache 64 KB x 2
L2 Cache 512 KB x 2
L3 Cache 0 KB
Motherboard ECS Iris8
Northbridge NVIDIA MCP61 A3
Southbridge NVIDIA MCP61 A2
BIOS Phoenix Technologies, LTD 5.31
Memory 3072 MB DDR2 SDRAM 386MHz (best that MoBo can take, but not most)
Ok, original bus speed was 200, I have upped my bus speed to 237 with no problems or overheating so I actually get 2725 MHz. or 2.725 GHz.
This actually added a lot of response/speed to the system.
I have an Nvidia GeForce GT520, a Creative SB sound card, and a 1TB Hitachi 7200 RPM HDD and a 2TB Seagate Barracuda SSD Hybrid Hard Drive.
I know its an old system and I don't need the "that's older than dirt buy a new pc" comments. If I had the money I would.
I can only spend $150-$200 And need the best MoBo/Processor/Ram I can get. Or If it means a way better MoBo/Processor, I can keep my currant RAM for a while.
I have a 500W power Supply and a Thermaltake Xaser 3 Case. So Mounting the board isn't a problem, nor the boards size.
Also I need to know if the onboard graphics will be better than the GT520 or if I should keep using it.
I plan on doing a full re-install of win7 in 64 bit mode after the upgrade.
Oh, and I like to OC so that ability would be a plus.

buy 2x4GB 1866MHz (or 1600MHz but they are only 10-20$ difference so) when you can
