a little upgrade advice

[Biosis]

Hi guys, ok I’m just after a little advice from you lot, currently I’m running an FX-55 CPU with a little o/c @ 2.82Ghz, I’m after a better CPU, but at this moment in time, A new Motherboard and going over to Conroe is Not an option yet, Computer is mainly used for Gaming, Counter Strike Source in particular, I’m after something that will give me a noticeable increase in performance if possible that is compatible with my Motherboard (See spec below) I know Conroe is the way to go but I will not be building a new spec PC until late summer time, just after something to kick a little more life into the system if it’s possible, if not i'll just hold out till then.

Many thanks
