That would be a fairly standard upgrade, and much cheaper than a new system.
You have a wide choice of Mobo/cpus to choose from. My preference (I have built several machines to this spec), would be Soltek 75DRV5, AMD 1800X processor, and 512 megs DDRRam. Very quick, and stable.
The cost is dpendent on where you live.
