New motherboard or cpu?

He's too tight.

Upgrade your CPU. A 5600+ should do you good. Or, try a 5800+ or a 6000+. Fastest CPU in the Dual Core series is a 6400+. The Phenoms are a little too expensive for you.

Here, that's a decent upgrade, for the buck:

Also, like DJ-Crhis said, don't always trust benchmarks. Here's a proof:

go with a new processor for now, your motherboard is still good.
Unless you want to do what i m doing, which is to get a new mobo (i already got) and like dont buy a new processor till the phenom goes down in price even more.
Your computer is pretty much fast already.

i'm on stock cooling

I think we've found the solution then. No need to buy a new CPU, simply get an after market cooler and clock it up!

Get an Zalman aftermarket!
unless theres one thats better.

Their stock cooler Nah, I have a great experience with my Cooler Master GeminII, and it works with an AM2 board as well. I have a 4000+, and I have a 6400+ coming.

It won't bottleneck if you overclock it, something like this cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233001&Tpk=hdt-s963

Looks good..how much overclocking would i be able to get with such a cheap board?
