U have to go for either Sempron 64bit or Athlon 64bit as an upgrade.If u want u can go for sempron 2400+ 32bit processor but its performance will be same as Athlon 2000+.Athlon will perform much better than sempron.So there is no point in going for Sempron 2400+ 32bit.

SO u shud go for Athlon 64bit / Sempron 64bit.For this upgrade u have to change your motherboard also.

i think u have socket A mobo. So there is no point in going for sempron 2400+ or 2600+ cpus.
Even i have socket a mobo and i cannot find any 2800+ or higher cpu in mumbai.
