Well for a little over $100 you can get a Athlon 1700+ and a KT333 board. If you need to use SDRAM then get a KT266a board that has both DDR and SDRAM slots.
The Athlon running at 1 Ghz probably runs most of your apps faster than a 1.3Ghz Duron due to it's larger cache and better prefetch capability.
You should consider what Marlin1975 said by just getting a new motherboard to go along with your new chip. The K7S5A is a solid performer with both SDRAM and DDR SDRAM if you don't want to buy new memory.
