Agreed it' makes more sense to upgrade the lot. Prices are cheap atm, esp. for RAM. I'd get an AM2 motherboard bundle with a X2 4200 or 4600 & 1Gb RAM to start.

better off with an intel board, Core 2 duo chip and some more RAM. Intel are quicker per ££ than AMD and AMD are also heading for crisis at the minute.

Not worth upgrading your processor on its own, probabaly wont even see a difference
