Inexpensive upgrade solution?

[hyrum]

First, I'm not sure what processor my mobo can hold. It's an Asus A7A266 but I think the highest processor it can support is a 1.4ghz. Anyway, I wouldn't mind upgrading to a 2.4/2.6 type of processor so am wondering if anyone out there can suggest a relatively inexpensive upgrade from the A7A266 and perhaps a chip that could sit in the suggested mobo.

My apologies, I should also state I'm using 2 sticks of DDR ram both are 512MB that I'd like to eventually upgrade to 1GB each and I am currently using all slots on my current setup.

I have one of those boards and with proper bios upgrade you can have chips that go higher. I currently have a 2200 thoroughbred in there and they are indeed compatible. Might want to stick with 266fsb socket A Athlons.

Go with one in hot deals or from Fry's about the Sempron. I think some ECS boards have AGP so you will still be able to use your old parts.
