So, is a Sempron 3100 (512 MB) plus a nVidia Fe5500/256MB supposed to be slower than an Athlon 2700 (512 MB) plus a nVidia TI4200/128MB?
This thing runs Quake 4 like crap!

The CPU should be fine, IMHO.

It's perfectly usable for gaming, and has at least as much cache as your Athlon 2700 did so that's a non-issue in terms of the upgrade.
