Ok just some stuff..(Im sure you know this already)
To upgrade your CPU..you will need a new motherboard also.
Socket 7 is way dead and buried...
Right now a inexpensive mobo and CPU together will run you around 200 bucks (MSI mobo / Duron 1.0Ghz CPU) Then you'll want more RAM and your older RAM may not be compatible with your new mobo.
also the upgrade may involve you buying a new case or power supply depending if your old case is already ATX and how strong the power supply (350w or better now a days is needed) is in your old case.
In your case, I would get a new 7200rpm 40+ gig ATA 100 or 133 HD and then save up money to upgrade/ buy a new PC alltogether at once. That way your HD will be the center point in your new system and the rest of your older system you can donate/sell to someone else.
Also if you go the HD route remember to take your old HD out..its probably a 3200 or 5500rpm ATA 33 or 66 HD and it will only slow your new HD down. Just put it off to the side so when your ready to upgrade to a faster PC you can stick it back in the old one to enable yourself to sell it.
