you're going to need to supply a bit more info.
What processor are you running?
Model of PC?
etc
Typically things such as memory upgrades or CPU upgrades on existing platforms will give you a better perfomance boost than a mobo swap-out unless you plan to overclock

sadly short of adding more RAM and upgrading your video card/adding one, buying that board isn't going to offer much of a perf increase. Socket 478 doesn't offer much beyond what you already have, which is actually quite good

if you get an AM2 sock939 you should be good for a long while, but you will need to upgrade to DDR2 for that
