My bet... if your system can take a processor upgrade then your mobo
will support up to a 2.0 mhz P IV with either 400 or 533 FSB.

Not really going to knock the socks of the performance you're already
getting with your 1.5

The money would be better spent on a whole new system (kinda makes you
wish that's what you'd done before upgrading all those other parts I'm
sure).
