Go to Newegg.com and hook up.
First, Cool it down to overclock.
CPU FAN AMD|SILENTBOOST A1889-1 RT $34.99
A good fast proven OC chip...
CPU MOBILE AMD|2400+/266 ATHLON XP% $77.00
RAM that will clock...
DDRAM 512M|PC-3200 991093 MUSHKIN R $79.00
Get 2 Chips for 1 GIG of course... $158.00.
MB nForce2|5P1A4D NF7-S V2 ABIT ATX $82.00
Great MB with sound that will make you lose Soundblaster Driver Hell..
Overclock the p*is out of to 2.5, for about $350, your done.
Keep your HD and case, Enjoy.
EDIT, the CPU will like better Video Cards, but your covered to spend on them by Turkey day, and HL2.

I just got the ASUS A7NX8. Its a good mobo and it runs well with most of the AMD series. That with an XP 2500 will run you around $120. Slap a Gig of DDR ram in there and you are good to go.
I still need more ram and a faster CPU but I can fly AH2 and get decent to crappy frame rates w/ a Geforce 440 MX. My next upgrade is gonna be the memory card.

Never heard of it. Link?
I got my Dad, his friend, and my wife on pending upgrade orders.
I'm done, it's on the way, but if I can save a few bucks, hook me up!

It's pretty old actually I put one when they first came out in my box last year. I have an A7N8X v 2.0 from last august with a AMD Barton 3000+... The Mobo is pretty nice, but I woudl go with Abit if I were to get a new one. ASUS has a crappy bios program and is hard to OC.. IMHO of course.

Pry why I did go Abit, but if he has the answer...

ok so had a typo there its the ASUS A7N8X I have Rev 2.0. Yes it its an older model but I dont buy brand spanking new computer stuff myself. I was a little off on the price
For $120+ you can get it with an XP 2200 for a 2500 its about $30 more

as far as the bios goes....its not bad but its definatly not for beginners. I do like the variable fan control on it. I also like the CPU overheat protection.
Anyhow I got no complaints myself.
