and a amd athlon 4000+ san diego

Now since it has been a long time since I have done really any major upgrades I have just replaced my AGP graghics card(you can see my post on that) and new ram within the last year I am kinda restricted on what I can get but I can work thru the restriction and hopefully come out with a fairly decent pc till I can afford the Laptop I want, and turn my desktop into the server as planned.
Any help is much appreciated!
