Not max top, but great enough.
Core 2 Duo E8400 (3.00GHz,1333FSB,L2:6MB) Will need bios version 1236 or higher.
Core 2 Quad Q8400 (2.66GHz,1333FSB,L2:4MB) Will need bios version 1238 or higher.

Common Pentium8 Mobos are realy cheap this days, coz CPU not so cheap yet.
Any model will really boost your computer up.
From processors you better try to get cheap Pentium or fast i5 (but not i3 in any cases)
