Personally - I would upgrade to a new computer. a P4 is old enough that it's about time where an upgrade would last you another good 3-5 years depending on what you're doing with it.

Even the new Sandy Bridge MB's might not be something I'd be pushing for. You could find a cheap Socket 1156 MB and get a decent i5 - like the 760, and you'll be set.

The only thing I'm not happy about with the 1156 MB's is that there aren't any with USB 3.0 that I know of - but if you get a a regular ATX board - you'll have plenty of slots to get an expansion one though - which are cheap....
