My current system specs are

3 Gig of DDR2 ram
MSI K8-Neo Premium Motherboard
AMD Anthlon 3200
9600GT PCI-E

i'm trying to upgrade my processor but since they no longer make the socket my motherboard has so i have to upgrade my mother board too. Im looking to spend around $300 total any suggestions?
 
Are you sure that's not a K8 Neo Platinum? There is no K8-Neo Premium. The K8 Neo Platinum is a s754 mobo, and if that's what you have I sympathize... it was great when it came out but it is extremely slow by today's standards.

All K8 mobos use DDR RAM, not DDR2.
