A new motherboard, and rebuilding your OS probably.
The speed improvement will max out at about +80%, for bigtime number crunching.
Anything that uses the disk will be just as crappy as before, and memory-intensive work will hold you back too.

Is it worth it for games? Doesn't sound like it. Thanks.
Well, games don't typically hit the disk, or they'd be unplayable on any machine.
Games do quite a bit of number crunching, to calculate vectors for bullets and collision detection, and all that.
It will help, but the graphics card will almost certainly still be your bottleneck.
