Can I upgrade a better CPU in this mainboard?

Hi guys,
I have this Gateway 508GE desktop computer still going strong after 8 years abuse. I recently changed the memory to 2gb and put in a 60gb SSD and also put in A Nvidia GT520 video card. It run much better than before.

It have Intel D915GAG main board with 775LGA socket, it have the Pentium 4 550 single core CPU run at 3.4ghz HT enabled. I am wonder if I can put a better CPU in this system? like a dual core CPU?

Can this CPU work in this board?

pendtium D wont' work, you're better off getting a new mobo and cpu, then reuse your old parts (hard drive, dvd, video card, etc.)
new mobo and cpu can be had for $200

Thank you, that is too much work for now. When I ready to do all that I will build a new computer from scratch.
