Well, if your computer supports newer processors, then the motherboard should be fine, but I recommend that you get yourself a new motherboard (something that fits the case, of course!) The RAM is not important IF it is over 100 MB. Finally, if you are staying with the mobo you have now, is the processor Socket A or otherwise?
P.S. make sure you don't get Pentium for AMD motherboards.

I would start with a nice motherboard like below and look in the manual and see the range of processor speeds it could handle and what i can afford. -P4i Fire Dragon , Socket 478, ATX, 2GB DDR-SDRAM, 400MHz FSB. And buy some ram and good video card unless you have a good AGP video card. That's what i would do. Also expect a little trial and error. Make sure you buy from somewhere you can return the parts if you buy the wrong thing.
