Hey this is DkDuPeX with yet another problem

this time its upgrading... i want to fix up my pc it it felt like yesterday when it was the lord of computers, but now im having trouble with compatibility.

I need to upgrade my processot ive got a LGA775 socket at the moment i have a Pentium 4 516 2.93 GHZ, As a chipset i have a Intel 915GV Graphics Memory and Controller Hub, My MOBO is a Goldfish3-GL8E or an ASUS PTGD-LA as you may call it. i have 512 mb of ram (2 sticks of 256), a hard drive of 200 gb of space sata.

What i want to know is
- Can i upgrade my PC in any way
- Can I get PCI Express on it if so how
- Can i get a 975X Express chipset?
- What is the fastest processor that my system can work with and do i need a bios update
- Can i get a mobo without a video card and still run my pc?
- Can i upgrade my chipset?
- If i can upgade this stuff then how much will it cost me?
- I know its completely off topic but what exactly does a chipset do
- Can i get DRR3?
- Does this PC have any wow factor or is it a peice of crap?
- I found a mobo that has PCI-e but i dont know if its compatible the ASUS PTGD-LA Puffer2-UL8E

thanks in advance
