Current:
Cpu: AMD XP 2400+
Ram: 1GB PC2700 DDR-333
IDE Hard Drives: Primary: 120Gb Seagate Barracuda ATA-100 Secondary: 250Gb Maxtor
MB: ASUS A7V333
Video: Galaxy GF 6800 with Artic cooler - OC 25Mhz(Was GF3 Ti 200 64Mb) AGP
3DMark03: 8126
Want to upgrade this to get a bit more oomph, but as cheap as possible, a stop gap before I go all the way to PCI-E which I can't aford. Gaming I'm not to bothered about but need it more for Photoshop and Apps. I can get a IDE to SATA convertor for the Hard drives..
Been looking at Ebay but not really sure what to buy... _________________

I offered it to Aunty Marlowe a couple of months ago but heard nothing back 
As for the motherboard....

Well decided to go down Intel route in the end, after many years with AMD  :
Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 1.86ghz Lga775 Fsb800 2mb Retail Boxed £116.06 Inc. VAT
and
ASRock 775DUAL-VSTA SKT 775 VIA PT880Pro/ultra with conroe support AGP PCI-E 7.1 channel audio ATX - 36.99 inc VAT
Not sure how much boost I will get but should help a bit. Cheep and cheerful. _________________
