Socket A Upgrade?

I am happily posting this on my Fedora 8 Linux computer. Fedora 8 is amazing. I'm loving every minute. Its so easy to find everything I need and I've hardly had to use the shell. Everything installed automaticlly for my Radeon 8500 LE, on-board sound and network card. The only problem so far is that my Athlon is kinda slow. All this hardware was originally from an old E-machine and I put in a PC-Chips motherboard, hard-drive, and some more RAM. I think the CPU is a Athlon 2100 socket A.
I've been looking on the internet for upgrades and there isn't much but I've found a few 2800's and 3200's for a decent price.
does anyone have tips for upgrading?
I just want to make it a little faster for a few bucks, hopefully no more than $40 or $50. And, will there be any bios problems with upgrading?
