Which motherboard do you currently, your options are really limited to Pentiums and Celeron processors. I can give you specific recommendation if you would be able to tell me your motherboard socket type.

Go here to see the CPU support list for your motherboard. You should upgrade to the latest motherboard BIOS before upgrading the CPU for the best compatibility.

Here's one that would work:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 Quad Core Processor CPU 2.5 GHz

It's the same clock speed as your current processor. You won't notice a difference in everyday use, but it will be about twice as fast in well threaded applications that can fully utilize the extra two cores.
