It is shame. Your system has such powerful CPU but motherboard is the cheapest from the cheapest. Most LGA775 mobos has 4 dimm slots.
I have similar problem as you when I upgrade my camera to canon 50d, followed with PC upgrade to AMD Phenom II 955 8GB DDR3 ATI radeon5450.
In your case I should go for new system. I advise to avoid i5 25xx because they are very expensive and doesn’t offer higher performance to the similar or lower priced I7.
Here are my suggestion.
1. Ultimate performance – I7 9xx – the triple channel memory interface offers performance boost in Photoshop and Lightroom. As far as I understand Wim has similar system with a little bit older CPU.
2. Very High performance I7 8xx – It is socket 1156 ,dual channel architecture. Cheaper CPU motherboard and requires 2 or 4 DIMMs
3. Mainstream – I5 – 750 or 760 AMD Phenom II 9xx.
RAM 6 or 8GB
PS
1. There are lots of PC review sites. Personally I have used www.tomshardware.com and some local sites.
2. It is needless to mention that you need Windows 7 -64bits. I have chosen Win7 home premium OEM.
3. As already know in photography there are many good ways. This is my vision. There are meanings e.g.
