Its also has a 2.40ghz celron processer it now cant or never seems to keep up its always going flat out on 100% for what im doing.. Soo.. Look for a upgrade would this bad boy fit?

So I took a look and did a little searching and I found this out off of the web,

"The key points are that your board supports only northwood core cpus(not prescott), and that it can take only 400 an 533 fsb cpus(not 800fsb)."

Reading down on that topic I see that the CPU you want is also mentioned that will work with the Dimension 2400. Get some more opinions first of course, but after my reasearching results I can comfortably say that my answer is, Yes it will work

Edit: Here is more that I found to back up the fact that it should work

Just be weary about ebay :/

As Kitsune said, it looks like that CPU will work. It's also looks like the best CPU you can put in there. According to this list, you should get a bit of a performance boost:
