please post your full PC configuration & budget. upgrading to a dual core is the best way to waste money. its better to go for a complete change in setup rather than upgrading half a decade old PC.

no, your motherboard only supports Pentium 4. check this.

You may add any P4 HT processor which are available as a junk @~400/-.
Not recommended. You system have served you well. Now time to move on & assemble a new rig.
