First off, how much are you willing to spend? Are you willing to buy a new motherboard to upgrade your processor?
If you can upgrade your motherboard and CPU, then yes, it is definitely worth it. That Athlon XP is a nice CPU, but a decent upgrade would put you in the "ok zone" for games for the next 1-2 years.
Your current motherboard will probably hold a 2.0 GHz Athlon XP 2600+ at 266 MHz FSB. If it supports 333 MHz FSB, then a whole new series comes into play: the Bartons.
So: do ya wanna spend money on a new motherboard and CPU, or just a new CPU? Secondly, what motherboard do you have?
