Yet another CPU upgrade question

I'm halfway minded to buy a complete new system but I'd like to put it off for a year or so; at the moment all I need is a bit more speed for some games my son wants.

I have a 4 year old Athlon 1.2GHz on a K7 GA-72X motherboard and all I want to do is source a faster CPU; I'm happy with the actual process. The question is, just how fast could I expect to go without changing the motherboard etc? If it's going to get too much like hard work I might just opt for the new system.

Thanks in advance.
