512 MB RAM (properties show 504MB)

first tell what's your budget

Do you want to change processor only or graphic card and memory as well? Budget?

Budget 7-10k

I use the computer for basic work- Excel, a lil bit of graphics, and primarily internet usage.

For the works you have mentioned, even this configuration is good enough. Just upgrade memory to 1GB.

I do have a 845 chipset mobo. Is it possible to pair it with a Dual Core cpu?

this was the correct choice i thought you might go for complete system upgrade, so only change your RAM,also i can advise you to change your monitor to an LCD if you don't have one

I kno its Dual core, but i just copied what the system properties said.

you will find this only in intel pentium pro versions which defines your RAM limit, in your case you can upgrade up to 4GB RAM, according to your operating system specifications

He did not want you to notice core, he wanted you to notice pentium, you had written premium.
