Your motherboard only supports processors with up to 400MHz FSB, so you're limited to the earliest Northwood-cored 2.2GHz Pentium 4s CPU-wise. Also, it uses SDRAM so it'll still be slow even if you got 1.5Gb, not to mention extremely expensive. As far as that system goes, the motherboard, CPU and RAM would be a bottleneck even for that budget 7600GS you're looking at. I'd follow linderman's advice and get a new base for a system.
