the CPU I want is a amd 5050e I was told that it might be compatible but since my mobo is a am2 not a + the upgrade is absolutely worthless it won't help one bit. Also on am2 the hypertread is 2 and on am2+ its 3 would I notice a difference in performance. I just use this PC for the net and office programs. NOT gaming.

From what I can find there are a few processors that you can upgrade to. There isn't much information about the emachine computer online.

The images you linked don't work. It may be possible to look up the CPU support list for your motherboard to see if there is a bios update that supports AM2+ CPUs.

FYI, you are upgrading really old hardware. You investments in old hardware might have little to no return. It may be better to abandon the old build and start fresh.
