If you fill out the form in my sig, it will be easier to help you out. I doesn't look like upgrading is going to be an option in your case.

ive read it!! thanks.. u didnt consider e5200? e7400 is just a 300mhz away.. i will not be overclocking anyway. =D

dont bother with AGP/DDR1 and single core P4 rigs - too old

@jbakerlent.. Your sig is empty!!
I'll make a list and respond..

4670 or 4650, though starting from scratch is much more recommended.

Thanks sykes, looks like I somehow managed to un-check the "Apply Signature" option box...
