If you're not looking at spending big money perhaps another 512mb of memory and an overclocked AthlonXP 2500 mobile, Should tidy you over nicely until the dust settles on the whole 64-bit/pci-express/BTX/DDR2/SATA2 mess..

I run my XP(M) 2600+ in an NF7-S 2.0 with no problems, if I was you I'd rather not upgrade to another CPU within the Athlon XP stable but see how far I can push the 2100+.
