AGH SO EXCITED AAAAAAAH HAPPY HAPPY SCARED.
OKAY SO YOU SHOULD PROBABLY GET MORE RAM BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH. THAT CPU LOOKS GOOD, IT ISN'T A CURRENT SOCKET SO THAT IS PROBABLY THE BEST YOU CAN FIND!

you'll need to check w/ HP /Compaq if this processor is supported, many OEM's HP, dell, sony etc. PC's bios only supported a limited number of processors regardless of the socket.

As has been mentioned, 775 motherboards and CPU's are no longer current. So, finding either will be tough. It would be far better to start fresh. Essentially any new CPU will run FAR faster than that CPU.....

You could add more RAM, is your Windows XP 64 bit version? (not very likely.....) If it is only 32bit, you RAM usage will be limited to < 4Gb no matter how much you add. It's also likely DDR2 RAM, again obsolete and about Double the price of current DDR3 RAM. Again, making a fresh build the more reasonable path forward...

Never seen that happen.

That PC isn't worth putting a dime into. Save your money and GET A NEWER COMPUTER BECAUSE NOTHING YOU PUT IT IN WILL MAKE IT RUN VERY WELL. ITS PRETTY MUCH MAXED OUT AND WILL COST YOU MORE MONEY TO "UPGRADE" THAN TO SIMPLY GET A NEW ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOUDDD NOISESSSSSSS

YUP. ALTHOUGH I THINK HE JUST WANTS TO USE IT AS A HOME OFFICE COMPUTER, IN WHICH CASE ALL HE SHOULD NEED IS THAT CPU HE LINKED AND THEN MAYBE SOME RAM, WHICH WOULD REALLY HELP BUT IT WOULDN'T BE NECESSARY.
