Upgrading my computer

Yeah if you want that CPU, you picked an Intel LGA775 CPU you would need to buy an AM2 CPU to keep that one also i don't really know if you have a PCIe or AGP slot for the graphics card
 
here are some shots of the mother board

I think thats an AGP slot for video card. So you will need to choose a card for AGP slot. If its not AGP, then it's PCI-Express. PCI is faster then AGP i think, but AGP cards are cheaper.
 
Its got a PCIe X16 slot, the longer black slot. With the processor you have, plus the fact its a older HP board, you probably dont have to many CPUs to upgrade to, or even if HP gave any bios updates to even recognize that many newer processor.

You need to get a mid grade card like a 4850/GTS 250 and upgrade your power supply and move them to your next computer if you decide to update more later.

Or just trash the whole thing and just build a new stack, case and all.

Like I said you could update your video card and power supply. You have a PCIe slot. Plus increase your memory.

Dont think that board can run that processor. The board only has a old 3 phase power setup. That processor would probably fry it, plus the bios would probably not recognize it anyway. If you really want to upgrade the processor you will need to find a AM2 processor, something like a Athlon X2 5000/5200
 
ok, is there a chance i could get a 3ghz version of that or ?
