If I kept my motherboard, I could upgrade to a dual core 4200+-4600+

It would have to be an AGP 8x. NewEgg has a 4200 for $69. How much
should I spend on A video card that would be "appropriate" and not run
into any processor bottleneck? Would I notice a big difference? Or
chould I upgrade th motherboard too and get a PCIe one?
I would (and in fact recently did) dump the lot and start afresh with
a new mobo, Core2Duo and a PCIe card. If you hunt around and don't buy
top of the range parts, you can put a very good system together for a
reasonable cost.
What video card would depend on what games you play and what settings
you want to play them at.
I was thinking that, too. I was wondering though, if I spent $70 on the
CPU and another $70-$130 or so on a video card would it be noticeable
and worth it ($200~). I play mainly FPS (Unreals, MoH, CoD).
