Your processor is ancient. If you can find anything to fit it, I wouldn't recommend investing any cash in an end-of-life platform.
i have upgraded my computer to 160GB HDD(2X80GB) installed windows 7 and have 4GB RAM which is working ok for me but i am interested in getting my MOBO to full capacity then i will be happy for a long time then, all i know that is left is to upgrade my Processor which i have a very low budget for atm and am able to save for it if need be but i really wanna keep this comp for a while longer as its been my baby and taught me a lot of what to and not to do with a computer but i know a wrong processor can really mess a MOBO up so not looking to mess around to much with this lol

You can run CPU-z and find out the model of the motherboard. Look up that board and try to find the compatible CPU list. Only place you might find a suitable CPU would be eBay.
Here's the CPU-z link:

If this is the motherboard then looks like you can get a Pentium D 900 series dual core. Having 2 cores would make the PC much faster for Windows 7.

The top of the line being "Pentium D 960".
