-Slot 1 for Celeron / Pentium II/III processor
-Supports 233, 266, 300, 333, 400, and faster
-Core/Bus ratios are x2, x2.5, x3, x3.5, x4, x4.5, x5, x5.5, x6 and higher

Looks like it might not take much for a faster CPU. You could probably find a P3 550mhz slot1 cpu, or maybe a little faster, but the mobo might not support it. Maybe if there is a newer bios for the mobo, that might give support for more cpus.

If that system is working, and you want better performance, sell the whole thing as a working system, and build a new one. It'll save you money in the long run.

Any money you spend upgrading will be better spent on building a new system. Your RAM is older, and you don't have enough. DDR RAM is cheaper and faster. You don't have an AGP vid slot, onboard LAN, or a lot of other features that come with even the least expensive competent motherboards that have these features.

Good luck. 🙂
