Before upgrading, I would recommend selling off your Pentium 4 CPU and motherboard, and purchase an AMD Athlon XP or Athlon 64 CPU and compatible motherboard. The Athlon series processors cost less and perform better than equivilent Pentium 4 CPUs. I would say personally, AMD is by far the best choice for CPUs.
