I think this 2400+ is rather slow as the game I play the most, UT2004, depends mostly on the CPU. I'm not sure if I'll get decent frames (around the 100 mark @ 1024x768 with settings all at max, no AA or AS) with my 2400+
That being said, I don't think you'll see a great difference in upgrading to another Athlon XP, even with the extra FSB frequency, 400MHz is still a bottleneck. I'd spend a little extra and go for a low end Athlon 64 (Venice core) and overclock it.
