Well, it's only going to be another Pentium 3. Would it be best saving up to replace the processor, motherboard and RAM?

I believe Pentium III went up to 1.2Ghz but what your motherboard supports depends on the clock settings in the BIOS (try holding delete key on boot or it may be one of the F-keys).

A 3D Card will help too.

I have a PIII-1.2Ghz with nVidia 6200 and it's fast enough to play War Rock and GTA3

But like John said sometimes it's cheaper to get rid and buy a new one :p
