you could get your questions answered much quicker on like Amdmb.com forums or overclockers.com forums. you already have a lot of parts with your current computer that you would have to rebuy anyways, so just keep it and upgrade. actually i dont see anything wrong with your computer, it should be faster than need be. is it gaming where it slows down? or video editing? that would make more sense. The newer motherboards will benefit you with the latest chipsets, dual ddr capability (faster, but you need two sticks of matched ram). much better overall performance than that hp board. usb 2.0 agp 8x sata hard drives etc.... do some research on the before mentioned forums
all the new nforce2 boards are good, just some cost more, read the reviews on the boards i mentioned before.
putting in a better motherboard will be like upgrading the chassis of a car (kinda) like a sr20 (or a processor) is pretty good in a datsun 510 but drop it in a 240 (or asus, abit,etc.) and its much better overall, lol
