Hello everybody , first of all , I d like to introduce myself since i am a new member of this forum! 
*waves at everyone in the thread*
So heres the question : my current pc specs are the following
P3-600@675MHz (150FSB)
512 MB SDRAM @150
Gigabyte GVX7-4X mobo (apollo pro133a)
GeForce 4ti4200
WD 60JBA HDD + WD15,3GB HDD
and i was thinking on upgrading the mobo + cpu.
So i d like to ask what do you think that the perfomance gain will be if i purchase a 1,2-1,4 cellie tualatin and a new gigabyte mobo , since the old one doenst support tualies? Bear in mind that i am mostly talking about games (morrowind , nwn and the such) , i dont need extra processing power for anything else , what i got seems enough for office or mp3 encoding... Do you think that i d see a good difference in FPS at Morrowind if i upgrade? Also , will it be an easy task to oc the celie to 133FSB - especially if i buy the 1,4 version? Will they need extra cooling at such speeds?
My current rig makes 5500-5600 3d marks (2001 , 1024x768x32bit , win98) ...
Oh , and please , dont tell me about buying an athlon xp since that would involve the purchase of ddr ram and some more case fans for air flow... point is that if i buy a celie the cost (incl. mobo) will be150Euros while i ll need at least double for the athlon and i cant afford that much at the moment.
Thanks for your help everyone , appreciate it!
