Rodents, my motherboard is an MSI (Microstar) MS 6561 (745 ultra) BIOS 1.5, if that helps any. I hope so. "Socket A" might also have something to do with it too, as thats what my chip is listed as.

This processor:
AMD Athlon XP 2800+ 2.08GHz SktA Processor Retail at ZipZoomfly

is the only one that I found that exceeds your current setup. However, rather than spending $250+ on both new RAM and that processor, it may in fact be more economical to buy a new computer. Of course, since it's only been four years, you may want to spring for the RAM only. Just make sure they are 3 of the same stick or it may not work.

To everyone who helped me, Thanks for all your wonderful help!

I think I will add a little more RAM, but after talking it over with the wife, she reminded me that when Call of Duty 4 comes out, I am going to need a better system than anything I could ever upgrade this thing to anyway. I had COMPLETELY forgotten about that!

So, I must apologize, I almost feel like I wasted your time.

But believe me, when that time comes, I will be seeking advice on what to buy!
