I think you should keep your current processor until you can afford a whole new system. it's better that way. Upgrading would be a waste right now. Just my opinion cause I had that same processor before I upgraded into a quad core just recently. Saves more money that way in my opinion.

Supports the following processors:

* Pentium D 900 series (Pressler, 65nm)
* Pentium 4 601 series (Cedar Mill, 65nm)
* Celeron D 3xx series (Cedar Mill, 65nm)
* Celeron D 3xx series (Prescott, 90nm)


You can't do any better than you have right now, even if you do it will be so little it won't be worth it.

Keep in mind just because its socket 775, doesnt mean it will support a C2Q 775.
