Is it worth me upgrading to an Athlon 64?

my current setup in brief:

Abit NF7-S Motherboard
Athlon 2500+ @ 2.2ghz (200fsb)
ATI Radeon 9800Pro
Audigy 2 soundcard
512mb Twinmos 400Mhz DDR Ram

Would i see a massive improvement in performance if i changed the motherboard and cpu? My graphics card can still handle it's own and i wasn't planning on changing it.

Any particular recommendations for a 64bit motherboard? I'd like to stick with Abit if possible.

cheers

your spec is fine, could always max out whatever your motherboard can take CPU/RAM wise, I'll take a stab in the dark and say 3000xp and 2gb of ram?

i've already got a 2500+ which i've had up to 2.5ghz. Could of done more with watercooling but i'm not that hardcore

would just like something that is good straight outta the box if you know what i mean.
