You'll have to tell us the model numbers of all your components first. However, normally just swapping a MB will make no performance difference; if your current MB is a few generations old (which sounds like it might be in your case), you'll also have to buy a new CPU, RAM and graphics card, since the old ones won't work in the new MB. You'll also likely need a new and better PS.
