If the 5000 series is like the 5000US, then reportedly 1.2G Athlon is
possible according to here:

Or 1.1G Athlon according to here:

Does your motherboard look like the one pictured?

I briefly looked at upgrading my 5000US to a 1.1G Athlon but decided
it was not cost-effective. Might upgrade to a 7,200rpm 8MB HDD
though. Once I figure out how to install the OS on the new HDD since
I don't have the installation disc just the recovery disc.

Hmmm. Dunno. To a 950 Duron, I agree. A 950 Athlon would be noticeably
faster, though. Much larger L1 and L2 cache.
