Hmm...

Well EV... if you want to upgrade your system you may be better off doing
the processor and memory only at this point. Question is:

Do you know what chipset is on your board? If it's an Intel BX-440 Chipset
it will support processors all the way up to the PIII - 1000 so you could
feasibly just upgrade your processor to a PIII and stick another 64mb of ram
in it.

Even if it's an older board, with all you've done to it already, you'd be
better off just getting a board, processor and another stick of 64mb ram.
It'll save you a ton of money over buying a whole new system when you only
really need a memory and processor upgrade.
