Unless you know the socket type, there's no way anyone can tell you what you can upgrade to. Different processors require a different socket. You can't put them in any other style of motherboard.
Also, the motherboard itself may have restrictions on how fast you can go (Dependant on bus speed, etc.).
Sorry... but you're going to have to learn a lot more about what you have before anyone can tell you what you can do with it.

I agree. If you're not 100% technically fluent in all things hardware, its a nightmare waiting to happen. I think there's a synergy with hardware generations that's best to maintain, since some bottlenecks (disk i/o, memory speed, etc) can prevent other upgrades from doing you any good.
I also think good software maintenance can best processor upgrades in most cases (watch your startup programs for example.)
