I would not recommend such an extensive upgrade. Due to the age of your model computer a lot has changed in connectivity. If you were to purchase a motherboard to fit a better CPU it would most likely call for a different speed RAM and may not have the traditional IDE connectors for your disk and hard drive(s). I suggest you either replace the motherboard (if you are positive that is where the issue lies) with a similar motherboard if you can find one cheap and love your Windows XP that probably came with it or just buy a whole new system which will run much faster and will save you some grief.
