I have a Shuttle XPC SN21G5 with a single core 3800+ that really struggles with modern browsers and anti-virus software running simultaneously.

Fastest cpu supported is a socket 939 Athlon 64 X2 4800+, obviously a dual core would help immensely but for some reason Overclockers UK seem to be out of any 939 processors! :p

Any ideas where to get this cpu? Alternatively, what shall I do with this PC? I'm running XP, perhaps Ubuntu would help?
 
Thanks for the replies.
- The PC has 2 gigs of ram.
- I'm not familiar with Opterons but if I understand the wiki entry correctly then no, not dual core. The Opterons supported are 144, 146, 154 and 165.
- I think an OS tune-up/re-install and a quicker HDD makes sense. Selling it would be smart too, but selling stuff always seems like a hassle and I just never get around to it.
