Personally, I would ditch that board and upgrade to at LEAST a socket A, Athlon XP capable board (MSI K7N2 Delta, for example) w/ an Athlon XP 2200+ or better CPU. If you have a larger budget, I would go with the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and an Athlon 64 3200+

HOWEVER...

A good CPU for your board would be:

(Edit: The board specs says the board is capable of "Future Athlons", but I'm unsure if they mean the AthlonXP series, so I suggest the TBird below.)
