If your manual says 4 Gig max, maybe that's a OS limitation, not one of the Mobo.
I suggest upgrading to Win7 64 bit, then see if you can install two 4 GB sticks. If it works then that should help a lot.
If that doesn't work then look into upgrading the Mobo. I'd keep the CPU - it's pretty nice and it'd be a shame to toss it.
