motherboard upgrade

    Hi,

    I have a dell dimension 4700 for a good few years now and its gone very slow and keeps freezing. Ive done a clean install & was thinking about upgrading the RAM until a friend told me the processor would default to the slow 512mb its made for, regardless of RAM. He reckons I need a new processor/motherboard if I want to bring my 4700 up to speed with modern PC's

    I was looking at motherboards but im not sure what would be compatible. Most sites are saying it is ATX, but im in over my head here!!
    Is there a number on the board I should be looking for?
    I dont mind if the external connections dont line up, I'll modify the tower accordingly.

    Or would any motheroard do me & I'll just plug in the hard drives & RAM & mod the PSU if needs be?

    Any help appreciated
