What kind of motherboard do you have? If the motherboard is 5 years old, then you should be able to run a 3ghz cpu on it. More then likely it would be ok, just depends on the brand and model.

I don't know intel sockets nearly as well as I do AMD, but I would just about bet money you'd be unable to upgrade that much. If I could simply find a damn list of the Intel processors and their sockets, I could tell you for sure...
Ah, found it... The 1.3GHz Pentium 4 was apparently the slowest one made. It runs on a Socket 423. The fastest processor you can get is a P4 2GHz, if this graph I found is accurate...

No. The motherboard has a socket 478, which was for older P4s. And that processor is a socket LGA775, which is for the newer Intel processors.
But this would suit you well:

Only problem is thats an OEM, which means you just get the processor, nothing else, not even a box.

I looked on that site, there doesnt appear to be a processor that would work with your motherboard on there......sorry.
I could sell you mine for $80 with the heatsink and fan. It is a Pentium 4 Northwood 2.66ghz/133mhz non-HT. Not the greatest P4, but it overclocks like a beast. Got that baby up to 3.5ghz on stock cooling. It runs very cool also. But iv never sold anything over the net, so im not sure how it all works out, and i hear too many stories of ppl getting screwed........so i dont know.
