Hi Dawsey,
Just read the post. I agree with the rest of the posters that a new combo Motherboard/processor with some additional ram would problaby be your best road.
An AMD64 with a motherboard soket 339 with an Nvidia chipset (NV4)would do nicely(any brand). But bear in mind that the new Mobo's all come with PCI-express and dont support AGP anymore, so unless you buy a mobo with included graphics that will probably mean that you'll need another graphics card.
On the other hand you can find cheap motherboards with socket 754, but it's a dead end as AMD is discontinuing the production of processors for 754 by the end of next year...but you find them with agp, so no new graphics card needed (by the way graphic cards with agp are also discontinued...).
If you do buy a new HD I would use that as you C (partioned if you want in C and D) and use any other HD as a secondary since the new generation of drives tend to be a lot faster and have more solid state memory for pre-catching.
hope it works out.
