Need to know specifically what processor you have. If your processor is as old as I think it is, you do not want to purchase a new motherboard for it. You'll want to save until you can get a new core system (Motherboard, CPU, and RAM) all at once.

Wow that's even older! Socket 939. Good luck finding a working used motherboard for that.
It also uses DDR1, NOT DDR3.
You would be much better off getting a modern platform. Even the cheapest stuff today will be much faster than that old CPU.

As expected, your processor is too old to be of any use now. No current motherboard (DDR3/DDR4) can utilize that processor. You'll need to save until you can purchase a new core system (Motherboard/CPU/RAM) and depending on the rest of your components; possibly a hard drive (old IDE) and new graphics card (old AGP).
Additionally, you'll need a new operating system as well. Even if your old hard drive is a SATA drive, the OS that is installed, the drivers, and even the registry are looking for your old hardware. Not finding it, it will fail to boot and error out.
