Unfortunately your motherboard is not compatible with the Core 2 Duo line of processors. It is compatable with the pentium 4 extreme edition of processors, but they are much more expensive, and then the bottleneck will be the motherboard as the CPU will be more power than it can run.

If you can find a higher speed P4 w/ht it would make only a small difference. Honestly at this stage with an old motherboard chipset, you might want to think towards replacement.
